Hey Tex, the bumper looks great. it looks alot like the one I have on order from Hanson Enterprise in Salinas, Ca. You can check their stuff out on the website, at Hanson home page click on Dodge. I got the one that shows on the Blue Dak. I'm afraid to ask what you paid, more or less than $1,100 ???

Do you think you could bolt on a skid plate from the bumper to the lower cross member. It look as though your radiator mat take some damage. I think I'm going to get one of these.

I went with the Hanson bumper, pricey at $1,000 but all the info I could find on the subject recommended Hanson as being the strongest and with the best mounting hardware and frame reinforcing brackets that bolt on. I am putting a winch on the bumper so was looking for the best chance that the thing would not rip off the truck when winching.

well at least for the money I paid Hanson for my bumper, I will end up waiting only 5 weeks from time of placing the order until delivery, its on the way to Guam now. Also, Hanson was really good to work with (ask for Paul), I was never in the dark about what was going on. Also, black powder coating is included in their price. Check out the Hanson Enterprise website, its pretty good. Good luck with your stuff.

I ordered my bumper through Kenesaw on July 1st, Just calling or emailing every 2 or 3 weeks to see how the progress is coming ya know. So I called today and the SOB was real short with me. It sounds like I wont receive it until the last possible moment.. The 28th of this month.. I've worked in customer service, and this is no way to be treating a customer who's paid in full for the product and just wants to know how it's coming.. Just pisses me off. I would say if your in the market for a bumper, buy hanson... Just because the wait is shorter and the customer service is probably much better..

mightyquynh - When you are ready, check with Paul at Hanson. His email is Vipwb@aol.com. Tell him "Guam sent you"

Hanson service and friendliness was tops. Paul ALWAYS returned my emails in 24 hours or less, and ALWAYS took my phone calls. They let me know what was going on every step of the way. When the powder coater was holding things up, they got on the phone and pushed for the job to be done. When it was time to ship, Hanson built a wood crate for me at no extra charge, and made sure the pick-up by DHX was done right. I dont mind paying a premium price for a good product when the service is like this.
