Re: Bumper guards yes or no

I prefer with...but if you don't have any they are expensive to buy if you can find them..if I didn't have any I would be ok without them
truck looks nice from the front...got any side shots

I say no... dropped truck looks cleaner without them.

Re: Bumper guards yes or no

I like both, dang that’s a tough one. Probably without, but then there might come a day that those come in handy, in a little fender bender.

almost seems like it goes both ways. they dont seem to look right on lowered trucks and also look pretty goofy on a lifted truck. when i lifted my k5 blazer those things ended up looking so tiny i took them off and got a bullbar instead.

if you take them off sell them, a lot of people look for them for some reason. i have no clue what happened to mine, i knew i had a few sets
