Save your money. I have the identical bumper on my Chevy, it's ok but not near as beefy as the Herd on my Dodge. I haven't hit anything with the Chevy yet, but I fear a deer will ruin it. Granted it will keep the truck going, but it's still going to do some damage to it. My Herd has been tested against an antelope at 60 mph and it came out with the bugs wiped off.

this is enough to convince me.....if im correct i think the truck pictured above also smacked a deer at 55......neither did much damage.....

Duluth's bumper was ruined when he hit a deer, and he went to a steel after that.

A friend of mine hit a deer with his 05 Dodge with stock bumper and got stranded. He put on a regular ali-arc and hit another one and did not get stranded but still had the same repair bill as the fender got pushed back into the door again. He has a steel one now also.

There are at least a hundred trucks around here with ali-arcs and half of them look like crap after getting bent up from a deer.

Now I'm not saying an ali-arc isn't going to help out, because I know it's better than stock. However if you don't want any trace after hitting a deer or antelope, you better look at something else. For the money that my "custom" ali-arc cost, I would have been better off paying more for a Herd or just going cheaper with a steel.

Just offering my first hand opinion to help you avoid the mistake I feel I made.
