Question Front End Replacement

Hi, first post here on the forums and you guessed it, asking for advice. I am thinking about getting a front end replacement bumper and was wondering if anyone has experience with them on the new body style.

The one i want is $950 installed...

Also wondering if it will affect the suspension warranty?

Thanks for any help provided
Kevin

They make some pretty massive looking stuff, might look a little funny on a 1/2 ton but who knows. The lack of an actual picture on a 2009/2010 ram makes me wonder if they have actually built one yet or just mapped it out in CAD.

My opinion on bumpers like that is they look great on a lifted 4x4 with some serious mud tires. Otherwise, they look seriously out of place on something stock.

I like the baja version better. It's winch ready. Here's what it looks like on a Ford:



But I'd have to say that if/when Warn comes out with their hidden winch mount, that will be the best. Maybe I'll try to fab up my own bumper to hold the winch without adding 10 or 12 inches to the nose...
