Talking Considering push bumper on front an rollpan on back options please !

Alright iv been pondering on replacing my front bumper with a true pushbumper, i found a place that makes them for about 400 with the rubber inserts and everything, also has a mount for the winch.

Also since my rear step bumper is about to rust through im going to be replacing that also but i wanted some options from the guys or gals who have already put the rollpans on, how much of a bitch is it now to actually climb into the truck, even though i usually just climb up my tires.


keep in mind i'v got a 6 inch suspention lift with a 1 1/2 inch body lift. sitting on 33's

So, you want to put a real bumper on the front, but want to put a roll pan on the back? Seems a little redundant to me. Espcially with that 7-1/2'' lift, you would not want a small car rear-ending you and sliding under your truck. If I was going to do something really cool with my rear bumper, I'd put a roll pan on and build a tube bumper around it.

to be completely honest with you, the rear bumper wouldnt really stop a car from running under me anyways, it's still higher than i'd like it to be.

Its probrably to high anyways and the only thing that would matter is the hitch and I think it would look good IMO
