    Do you desire it to hold lights? A winch? Mall crawl?

    Give us some idea of how you use your truck to narrow it down a bit.

    Here are 2 options. The first is a Schrockworks. Well made bumper. I loved it but an Amazon driver pulled out in front of me. It saved my truck from a lot of damage. The second is my current bumper. It is a Steelcraft which I like. Well made. Steelcraft is cheaper in price.86569D71-13FD-49D7-AC3F-443175C53DDB.jpgB9CB4DF4-BC81-4FE0-AE8E-B7638A8455CF.jpg

    With the ARB you might have to beef up the front suspension, its a heavy pig.

    Mall crawler? Pick whatever looks cool and then read reviews.

    ETA I love my bumper but I do not think it looks great, solely bought for function. But ranch hand makes good stuff.

    It is the Rough Country bumper. It comes with the lights but I swapped the fogs to street legal Rigids. I also had it Line-X'ed.

    With the current conditions you may be waiting a number of months for any of them.

    When I got my truck a year ago (2007 DC 4WD), I hoped to someday get new bumpers.

    Payload meant little to me at that time, but now that I have a new travel trailer which is pushing the limits of the truck payload wise, one thing I would say to remember is that most aftermarket bumpers, especially heavy duty ones, are gonna weigh more that the factory bumper.

    The difference in weight, of course, gets deducted from a likely already low payload.

    Spp mentioned weights and I got curious

    demello - 125 - 145
    C4 hybrid - 150 - 165
    C4 OL - 165 -180
    Cbi - 200
    ADD - 150 *raptor, could not locate tundra weight
    ARB - a lot

    I was surprised demello was the lightest considering how stout it was, but the skeleton under the plates makes me believe
    upload_2022-1-24_19-49-11.jpg

    I am not affiliated with demello at all despite my old truck showing on there page for this bumper :)

    With the fog lights and several components about 55lbs would be a close guess. If you include the crush cans, maybe 60.
