Cool In need of new front bumper..what do you guys think?

So there i was. Parked behind my buddy with a bigger dodge. Go to help unload a truck off the trailer. And I watch my buddy back into my truck with his hitch in...haha..Now i get a new front bumper. But what should i get?? I like the utilites but from what i have seen they dont all look the greatest. So any Opinions? I really dont want to put a factory back on and I havent found a tube bumper out there yet.

Give us the budget and we can better find you something.

RoadArmor, Ranchand and Buckstop are three expensive popular brands.

isn't the sport bumper around 1800 with paint? if so then the insurance check should just about cover any replacement you would want.

And except nothing less than the full cost of replacement painting and installation of a genuine Mopar Sport bumper that is exactly what was damaged . Now go get four bids done and send em/take them your bill and wait for the check to cash before ya sign anything. And don't let the insurance company try any weaseling. With there repair shops or what not they can choose from one of yours. And pay you the person with the claim against them not your friend.

ps. I would go factory sport look maybe a brush/bull bar added

Yeah he is going to pay me cash since hes a good friend..but yeah budget is not issue...and I do like the look of a factory bumper but Im headed to texas to pic up an 06 3500 mega cab so its time for this truck to get something a little more trail worthy.
