Default Front Bumper

I have been doing a lot of research on front bumpers. Does anybody have the RockHard full length front bumper? Just trying to see what you think of it?

I'll let the members chime in - but I will tell you our best selling Patriot Series bumper is our JK full width. 4 versions of it - steel or aluminum, raised or lowered winch plate.

All versions of our full width are 1/4" thick, powder coat included, accept factory fog lights, are legal to flat tow from (with our tow bar brackets), included welded light tabs on the grille guard, and have an integrated skid plate to protect your crash bar and e-disconnect sway bar motor.

Lowered winch plate: Steel / Aluminum
Steel - RH-5005
Aluminum - RH-5045


Raised winch plate: Steel / Aluminum
Steel - RH-5006
Aluminum - RH-5046

Questions for everybody then. I keep hearing that aluminum is weaker. And if it take a hit it will not hold up well. Anybody come across that.

Can't say for sure and hopefully will never find out,,, whole bodies are made from aluminum now (F-150) and others I believe it welded properly and designed right they are equally as strong.. But I am not 100%
