I think those bumpers look good on lifted trucks, but don't know about yours wiggs it has a very sharp clean look right now. I have been tossing those around on my truck also but I don't want to over do it ya know. I do want some Black Magic lights up front though I am goin to put one of those light bars with 4 of them, you should look at them they are black when off would look really good on your truck.

If yellow wasn't my favorite you can bet I'd be rollin in a black truck. My first truck (97 12 valve) was black. She was a beauty...

I want a picture of my truck on a goosneck behind DWiggs monster. It would be great! (if ya like yellow and black )

Being from Pittsburgh and a Steelers season ticket holder, I LOVE black and yellow!

JD, I know what you mean about the look. I have been going back and forth as well. I do agree with teh Black Magic. I was going to do those definitely since they are black when off like you said.

It will end up with a Kelderman Air Ride so probably about 3-4" of lift when cruisin'.

I really like the RA bumpers, they are my favorite but only on certian trucks.

I never thought about your truck being a RA canadiate, its just too much for your truck. It kinda turns it into a Texas $h!t kickin kind of off road look.

I was very very close to putting one on my truck but aside from the $3,000total cost people said it would ruien the look of my truck. If I had the money id buy put it on and see how it would look, but I dont have that kind of $$$

I was looking at a SRT-10 Night Runner last night and I thought to myself that the SRT-10 bumper would look alot better with what you have done so far.

But it does sound like your wandering away from your inital plan of clean with all this talk about Stacks and 40" rubber and now a big a$$ steel bumper hanging on the front.

I've thought about the Srt-10 front bumper... I bet it would help 1/4 mile times.

Does a 2006 SRT-10 bumper mount up to a 2006 CTD ?

I keep going back and forth as well.

Whilst my project pockets have been deep, they are growing increasingly more shallow as well and I don't want to waste a few thousand dollars to see if I MIGHT like the RA bumpers on my truck. The onw thing I do REALLy want to do is get some wider rubber on my truck. Weather it is simply running 6 295/75s or going 295/75 upfront and a 495/45 super single in the rear I am not sure. I do know I want something wider than my 255s. It just isn't wide enough unfortunately.

Oh yeah, that would make a world of difference to your truck. Go for it.

If you count the cost of the truck; I would have to look at invoices but, with labor, I think I cracked the $100K mark over a month ago!

DANG!!!! That is a ton of cash! Whatever it is you do for a living must pay better than being a car dealer, cause I couldn't even begin to afford such a project!

That dealer must be making some serious coin off of you.

Yeah, the dealer is definitely makin' money off me, but the way I look at it, I will gladly overpay to know that they stand behind all of their work as well as the regular warranty. To me, that will probably end up saving me money in the long run, unless I happen to have the one perfect truck that Daimler Chrysler built!

I never have noticed what your going to use the truck for. Obviously your going to tow something, but are you going to sledpull with it some?
