Anyone have any info on these two grill guards?

[RJL1]

Trying to decide between these two grill guards. Top one is a Steelcraft and the bottom is a Westin. Anyone here have any experience with either of these two? Price wise they're roughly the same. Steel Craft is 499 and the Westin is 629.

Thanks.

I have the Westin HDX on my Laramie and really like it.
I ordered one for my Power Wagon already and I don't even have the truck yet...

To help you decide I suggest you read the install instructions for both. Then pick the one that mounts to your satisfaction.

I've been doing this trying to decide on one for my 2020 3500. I've boiled it down to a Rancher or Steelcraft for the way they mount. Steelcraft wins as it has a screen section to remove for the front camera. The Rancher does not but has the best mounting system. The Westin turned me off when their instructions said to begin by removing the bumper.

I'm leaning towards the Westin. There's an enormous deer population where I live. Hit one with my almost brand new Challenger in June, 11K worth of damage. The Westin, at least in the pictures I've seen looks a bit more sturdy then the Steelcraft.

Does your Westin have tabs for lights?

No light tabs on mine.
IDK if it might be optional.
