Off Road Bumpers
Register to remove these ads. It's free!
I am looking into after-market off road bumpers for my 2011 1500 Ram Sport. I have the rear parking sensors so I want a rear bumper that enables that. I also want to add a winch with a pre-runner bar look for the front bumper. I do not want a bumper that will stick a foot out in front of behind my truck or one that looks out of place IE: un-natural bends and curves. I like some the of road armor bumpers but I am having issues of finding quality bumpers where the design teams went with the flow of the body of the vehicle. Many bumpers that I have found look like they dreamed up the bumper design in their heads and then made it fit on the vehicle. If you make bumpers I am not trying to bash you just putting what I want and don’t want out there. Does anyone have any suggestions or pictures of bumpers out there? Thanks in advance… JT

What info??
The ones ones I can think of right off hand are Iron Bull that's actually got one out now. Iron Cross said they should have one out for the 1500s in about a month. Road Rhino has nothing for 4th Gen 1500s.
Another option is the NFab one, but it's more of a pre runner style with skid plate.
I do know right off hand that you can get the Iron Bull with rear sensor cutouts and I believe holes for the dual exhaust as well.

Yeah there was a post about some Dave Ellis bumpers. That was weird. I guess that is a name that we don't say. All I could find anyways was light bars for rams by him. Thanks for the info though guys. I have one guy up here that said he could make some but they are the same design for all trucks. I want to look sexy and the more I think about bumpers I think I will get a camera or two installed on the front bumper for saftey/ offroad use.

Yeah I like the idea of driving through brush and not scratching the bumper.

They do look good but I contacted them a couple months ago, but they don't make anything for the 09+ 1500s.
I like the idea of a front mounted camera - would definitely come in handy. I wish they made a bumper that kept the factory fog light housing - I haven't come across one as of yet though.

Looked at the ranchhand summit bullnose. Not sure if it'll work on a sport model though. Actually, I'd like to know for my express
