As for no rear bumper, I have done that too with my 96 ram. It does look cleaner and offers a nice flush look. But the major dissadvantage is trying to get in and out of the bed, you have no place to step up or down. I had a roll pan and one day had to jump down out of the bed(as usual) and I ended up causing an ankle injury to this very day that has never gotten better even with surgery.
By the way Silver, did you already buy the rear roll pan, cause I have one of those too, never installed it, still new in the box.

I have done this a few times till one day my shoe was a bit wet and I slipped and ended up with a nice softball sized dent where my knee hit it on the way down. It was on a past truck and I had to pay my dent doctor buddy $50 to take it out, but I think I learned my lesson.

to Silver, it is steel but I have no idea what brand it is... I cant remember if it says on the outside of the box, in fact I havent ever personally seen it out of the box either. I probly should run over to my storage and get it out to look at it one day!
And yeh I am in S Arlington. And thanks for the comment. I didnt start doing anything to my truck until this last year. I was sure if I was going to keep it past payoff or not. Maybe for another year or until a nice clean 05-06 cummins 4 door 4x4 2500 or 3500 deal comes up for me instead. My truck needs are different enough that if I get another truck at all it will have to be a CTD and a big one at that.
