So far the only one is the Aberle bumper but it's pricey...

Reynolds makes one, but it gets smaller the more you BBQ.

So I read the weight is around 60. That means it's only 20 pounds lighter than the shock works and ten pounds lighter than the mopar. Is that really much of a difference?

Also do they offer it with a bull bar?

you live in NY.... but you don't even think about the obvious problem that haunts steel bumpers up north? No rust dude. I think if you are gonna drop 800 on a bumper and you live in NY that alum should be high on the list. Alum is usually pound for pound stronger than steel too. Get it and let me know what you think. lol. I like the way they look, but I am 800 shy.
