do you have any pics of the profile of the bumper. I want to see how far forward the bumper goes in relation to the grille. My truck currently lives in the garage, but with barely any room to spare (front to back). If this bumper doesn't make the truck much longer, I might be able to use it.

It sticks out quite a bit further to make room for the winch, I'd say at least 6 inches. I was worried about fitting in the garage also but it worked out fine for me.

thanks for the pic. Maybe if I get some kind of parking sensor to exactly put my truck as far forward as possible i can make it work.

Nice looking truck !!

if it fits in but it's tight - just hange a tennis ball from the ceiling to touch your windshield/hood/side mirror etc. OR - put a couple wheel chocks or 2x4's on the floor to bump your tires up too . . .

Did you reuse stock bolts for the bumper or did road armor send you some different ones to use?

They provide replacements (all grade 8) but they didn't give me enough washers or provide the proper instructions.

With that bumper you wouldn't have to worry. Just pull up until you feel the bump.
