I would recommend to look at the ACE bumpers. They are top notch construction, different options for front and back bumpers with built in fog lights or led light strip. They offer excellent service.

My opinion is stay away from LoD but I'm sure others will disagree.
Poor powder coat quality, missing parts on arrival and next to impossible to get a hold of them just to name a few
Again, just my 2pennies

I really like the look of the crawler w stinger but not sure if its worth loosing factory fogs. How many people think factory fogs are important ?

I like mine but they can be replaced with much brighter lights if it means getting a bad ass bumper

I didn't want to lose my factory fogs. I went with their stubby that retains the fogs.

I've had the exact opposite as stated above about LoD. Top notch service, a solid product, and always an answer when I call them. No issues with powder coating (the zinc undercoat is worth it) or hardware either on the 15+ of their bumpers I've installed. Can't find what you want on their site? Give them a call. Odds are they'll build it for you. I almost ended up with a mid width with stinger on my own rig with fogs. All at a very fair price. You won't be sorry.

Change out your headlights to something effective and you'll never need your fogs again. Then you can select whatever bumper you like the most. With the Hella headlights (cost is about ~90) I couldn't even tell my fogs were on.
