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.

That is what I want right there. Also a front bumper where the corners/ends either run short or turn up to give more room/clearance like the jeep bumpers do. I would love to have my front tires fully exposed in the front to allow to go over more crap. I wish I had drawing skills.

Road Armor is another company that makes them but not for the 1500s. This one I like as it does have a skid plate right in front (although the Iron Bull has somewhat of one too). I think any replacement is going to offer much more approach angle clearance than the stock bumper will. I'll take this for a 1500, please!

I like that look the best however I wish the light options were different and the bumper was lined up with the truck better. As the back of the bumper reaches the fender you can see a gap growing.

I get what you're saying. I'm wondering if we get the dimensions for the fog light housing and started contacting every bumper company eventually one may custom made that light housing for us. I don't see why it would be much different to just cut one large slot instead of 2 smaller ones.

Yep I think they would be surprised at who all would jump on it.

I'll run a different fog setup if I have to, but it's definitely not my first choice.

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.
