I looked and couldn't find much discussion comparing various heavy duty aftermarket bumpers for our 4th gen Ram 1500s. I found bumpers from Addictive Desert Designs, Fab Fours, Iron Bull, NFab, Trail Ready, and Ranch Hand that will fit 4th gen 1500s. Unfortunately it seems many companies only make bumpers for the Ram HD. I will post pics of what I have found so far. If any of you have experience/additional info on any of these or other bumper options, PLEASE share what you know with the rest of us. Thanks in advance.

BTW, if anybody is interesting in buying my stock 2014 Granite Crystal Sport bumpers shoot me an offer. I may just have to accept it and order aftermarket bumpers.

Addictive Desert Designs

Here's a few pics of offerings from Addictive Desert Designs. Even though all the holes make the bumpers look a little busy to me (I love clean, stealthy, and streamline personally), I really like the overall look and design. It appears that these would be much lighter than many other aftermarket bumpers.

Iron Bull

I really like the look of the Iron Bull ****** 4 & defender 4 bumpers. To me this is the best looking & cleanest "bull" bumper I have seen for the 4th gen Ram 1500.

Trail Ready

Trail Ready supposedly makes the style bumpers shown below for the 4th gen Ram 1500, but they don't have pics of the 4th gen 1500 that I could find.

Ranch Hand

Ranch Hand makes some "interesting" bumpers. I actually like the rear bumpers. I'm not sure how I feel about the front bumper though. It definitely has a "ranch" look. Ranch Hand says these bumpers fit the 4th gen 1500, but all the pics they have are of HD trucks.

I am quite fond of the style of the ADD bumpers.
I like the tubular look.

My favorite for an off road (not off road race) is the Buckstop bumper.
I would very much like one for my truck.

Thanks. I'd never heard of them before.

^^^^ That looks really good. I might have to consider that. Their site says that the 1500 bumpers are "On their way". I'll add info on them here when they become available.

I like the ADD bumpers. Also look into Kore they have a front bumper just like ADD for a third of the price.
