    I’m looking to put a new bumper on my truck. I do want to have room to mount a winch and an additional light. I am currently looking at either the SSO slim line front bumper or the CBI front bumper with the low hoop. What are your thoughts? And maybe any other bumpers I should look into?

    Victory 4x4 Blitz. It took me took me longer to hook up the winch than it did to install the bumper. Almost NO Cutting and could easily be returned to original condition. TSS was not affected.

    CBI mid level (or whatever it’s called) looks good and seems well built. I opted for aluminum to save on weight and mounted a 20 inch KC hilites light bar. There is a winch mount as well but I probably won’t be adding one soon.

    And brackets to reinforce the mount to frame. A nice add on if the winch is the reason you are upgrading.

    Not a huge fan of how massive the ARB bumpers are. I prefer a much more low profile style

    For deer protection you'll want that one, I've had two cars totaled because of a deer hit to the quarter panel/head light so I went with it, protects the headlights and grill. But yeah they don't sell one that's just a bull bar :(
