Hey Squishy.. I have heard of it.. but never been. Have a General Area High way etc.? would be great.

Well, my first decision was to go with the set up like cereal's..

would throw some of these in.. get it all painted black with some fogs..

Since im going to be running a 4' lift, figured that would be the best look. Havnt decided if im gonna go with a stock black back bumper, or a roll pan.

Most of the bigger upgrades, and accessories thatI plan on doing are displayed on my MySpace.

They worry me as I seem to read a lot of negative reviews about them. At first I thought it was just some trolls but it seems I see them more and more and only actually see 1 or 2 people that have actually bought from him and seem happy. I've seen a lot more unhappy after he got their money. I'd probably look elsewhere because of that. It seems like most of the big bumper companys seem to get bad reviews.

Will a sport bumper fit on a 1996 non sport model? I like the look of the painted bumper. I hate all the chrome on mine

Depends on what year sport you get it off of. Up until 98, the bumpers were the same. 98 and up are different between sport, and non-sport.

The only bumpers I find for the 96 are chrome. Where would I find one at besides junk yard? LMC only shows the chrome one except for 99-01.

If you can find one in the junkyard in good shape, just have the chrome stripped, and paint it up yourself. Not sure if it would end up being cheaper...... My front bumper is ok.... for the age of the truck, its my rear bumper that seems to have rotted away to nothing...... I REALLY need to replace that.

After doing some more research, Its probable best and cheaper just to keep the chrome one I have. The bottom section is already painted to match the truck. I also need a new rear bumper. Mine was all bent up on the drivers side when I got it. I don't want to replace it with a factory style bumper either. That might also be a good idea for the front bumper. Who makes aftermarket front and rear bumpers for our trucks?

Lotsa folks. You can find them at LMC truck, Summit Racing, Jegs, and various manufacturer websites. They range in price anywhere from dirt cheap to truly forking outrageous..... (over 2 grand for a BUMPER??????? I don't think so.....)

I didn't see anything I liked on LMC. I seen someone on ghe forum that had a winch ready. That is the type of aftermarkets I'm looking for. Was just trying to find other manufactures besides them. Thanks for all your input HeyYou.
