RockAuto Bumpers

[Odin]

Okay guys, need some help here with anyone who's got experience using RockAuto.

I'm in the process of switching all the chrome out for black and as much as I love the AEV front bumper, the price is pretty high right now, especially with some of the other projects I've got in the works for my build.

I was looking at ordering the front face bar for my Ram 2500 and they have two options; regular inventory for like $100 and OE for $652. Also looking at ordering the rear bumper from them. Anyone ordered either? Opinions on difference in quality?

I'm trying to get as close to the 2018 Power Wagon front and rear bumper as possible. The ones at the dealership have a textured feel to them, so I guess if I have to do a light spray of bed liner on the ones I order I can do that.

Any help is appreciated!

I believe the power wagons have a textured powder coat

I've ordered a lot of stuff from RockAuto, but never any body parts. Their "Regular Inventory" items are mostly "made in china" type pieces. You get what you pay for. Since you're planning on coating them anyway, my recommendation would be to check your local salvage yards or a site like carparts.com and get OEM ones.

I figure the cheaper ones weren't as good quality, but was still curious. Reached out to a couple places on carparts so we will see. Just curious, but would you know if a 2014 front/rear bumper fit a 2015? I mean, same body style so I'm assuming it would. I found one truck that has both listed so thought I would see how much they want for both.

Yeah that's kinda what I thought, but the stealership I was at today told me no. But it definitely was not a smooth finish. But also not a rough texture. More so like the textured fender flares which came on the 2015 power wagon.
