Road Armor Bumpers

O2ShootTheJ · May 26, 2011

Guys I've been wanting a road armor front bumper (the base model) for a few years now. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with them as far as build quality, etc. I know their history with orders, so I'll be buying from a 3rd party that has them in stock like top gunz. I would have it linex'd black to match the truck.

Also, opinions on how you think it'll look on my truck and whether I should get it or not are more than welcome!

Thanks guys

It would look killer on your truck man! I have seen several and fit in finish look great. They are heavy though, and they look better on a truck with 4+ inches of lift. I say do it.

I've got 6-7" of lift FYI, those are 24's (-_-) and 37's

Thanks for the input!

I would save the money, don't think the bumper would work with the clean look of the truck

This. Truck looks too much like a classy truck to do the road armors. I think you need a more rough lookin truck like tanks to pull those off. Now if you just wanted to change the bumpers up what about powdercoated silver...?

The wiper up is the truck giving the finger. LOL

I agree with NOT putting a RA bumper on your truck. Would seem a little overdone and like you're trying too hard. Sometimes its the little things that have the biggest impacts.

I thought about this but not really sure how it would look. I've just been trying to figure out something to do with the bumpers, the chrome seems a little off

IF your going to do anything to the bumpers, color match them to the color on your rockers

The build quality of the bumpers is great, they are all built in America. A good friend of mine built the road armor site, and is good friends with the owner. last year we all went on a hunting trip, and i was able to pick his brain about them. Right now i would not be afraid of ordering straight from them.

I want to do the same thing you are thinking of doing. A Base bumper on the front with paint matched 05-07 grille and harley lights.

I had an 99 150 with a road armor on it before my super duty and it was definately well made. It was also very sturdy seeins how I used the truck like a dozer and I plan to put one on my sd soon as its paid for. I dont think that the road armors look as bad on clean trucks as ranch hands or something like that because they are a little more stylish and flow with the lines of a truck better and not big and bulky.

looks are a matter of opinion... horsepower can't be denied

The 24s are too big and bling to work with the Road Armor. Also, the Bull Bar doesn't suit your truck. (Nor do I like my Bull Bar on my truck, but it holds the lights)
