Aftermarket Bumper - Quality versus Cost
I'm considering replacement bumpers for my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel. I'd like to go good quality, but keep cost as low as possible. My research so far points me to the Ranch Hand brand, Legend se...

IMHO they do nothing more than add weight to your truck effectively reducing load carrying capacity.
Hit a deer with your "OEM" bumper...tell us how well your truck made out and then, ask me what happened to the 3 deer I hit with my Road Armor bumpers I had on my 2005 Ram. :B
So what kind of hood and windshield are you going with, because deer hardly stop at the bumper
yup... hardly stopped at the bumper, they usually ended up in the ditch or under my truck...you haven't seen my 2005 have you?
Your absolutely right, most deer are running flat out and your truck is tall enough to go over the top... unless it is that rare case where the SOG is leaping. Then it isn't much different than hitting a horse or moose.
My wife used to own a Corvette. Most of the time we could drive right underneath the deer. Except for possible knee dents and really short young deer. But then fiberglass doesn't dent anyway.
Just kidding. Glad we never hit one.
