Need new bumpers

Got in a small collision and need new bumpers. I was looking at either Ranch Hand or Brown bull nose for the front and back. A local company sells Gage, but I can't find them on the Internet. Does anybody have any pictures of one.
Thanks

I like throttledownkustoms.com

I just ordered some the day I bought my truck 2 weeks ago, they should be here in a week or two. Waiting is a pain but the bumpers are awesome. Alot nicer than the ranchhand IMO. I got the mayhem style.... with 4 light buckets.

i just ordered their evolution bumper on the truck pictured on this page, $1150.00 But i got it raw. But they also have some good looking traditional front replacements some of the better looking HD replacements you can get on a truck. IMP

the tough country website lists them from $1600 w/o grill to $2000 w grill base. I payed $2200 or so with shipping for the full bumper, grill guard, 4 lights and tow hooks

did you need to see my invoice?!? I search around and get diffrent prices then go back to the dealer or retailer closest to them and they will communicate and come to a better price. $2200 i could of bought a road armor or a buckstop for that. The one i got has two sets of sleeved light mounts, four off road light mount brackets and two tow hook brackets.

There are so many placing making bumpers right now, I think you could score a good deal at just about any of them. There was a thread a while back with just about every company listed. The ones I like the best besides for the 1 roadarmour (price is way to crazy though) is bodyguard, very very reasonably priced and look good.

Just to name a few companies

Throttle Down Customz
Road Armour
Buckstop
Bodyguard
Tough Country
Fab Fours
Alien Patrol
Ranchhand
Trailready
Reunel
Iron Bull
Denver Off road
Ali-Arc
Monster Bumpers

I know i'm missing a ton, just a few off the top of my head.

i just ordered it last week on tuesday as soon as i get it, wich i was told by the sales rep will be tomorrow, i have to get it powder coated graphite and on my truck i will post the pics including invoice and you gotta understand that you have to compare apples to apples not oranges and apples. I know one thing is for sure that i wasnt gona pay the extra $1050 for any kinda powder coating work unless they gona paint my whole truck

I like the style bumper I got with the ammenities I wanted. I like the price I paid.......

If your not going to compare it as an apple to apple then why are you slamming what I paid for it. look at the TDK website and tell me if it isnt similar to the mayhem bumper, if not then dont slam me for what I want to spend my money on. for the days it took you to find the deal it isnt worth it to me. I could make that $1000 back in a single shift at work. Same reason I paid $1400 for amp steps with install by a local company. It isnt worth my time to save the $200.

My comparison was to show that i believe this bumper was a better buy and will come out on top of yours with the options it came with. Good to know you have a good job. Your the one that came out swinging and slammin with your first comment of doubt! And thats what i was thinking, "to each their own". I just wanted to show you and make a point.

Monster bumpers is up in fredricksburg, TX I believe and they have a nice stealth bumper. Their prices have gone up pretty high since 2 years ago though..... I have a thing for the stealth/road armor style bumpers, I am not a fan of diamond plate.... The bumper that txarrowhead ordered is also a stealth style and is nice..... believe me if I could find one with a price that is shipped to my door ready for install for cheaper than what I got, I would take it......
