Just bent the rear bumper on my 2002 2500 hd . Are there any cool -functional aftermarket rear bumpers out there. I'm looking for something with lights built into the bumper. Pics would be great.
thanks

Yeah those factory bumpers are made out of tin-foil!
Several mfg out there, lot of local ones in Texas. Ranch hands are popular, pricey. Tietjen(?) is also good, that's what i bought after somebody crunched the rear bumper on my '02 on the Gulf Frwy a year or so ago.

Tough Country. Built in El Campo, Texas. Ranch Hands don't compare, IMHO.

Make you own "sure death" bumper out of 8" or 10" channel, 1/2 thick. Angle and close off the ends, and build 1/2" thick plate attachment arms and weld them to the frame as well as bolt. Works for me. Any body who hits me totals their car usually with no damage at all to my bumper, hitch, nor frame. I have been hit by a car at 60 mph while I was stopped with no damage to my vehicle, but totalled theirs and sent them to the hospital. Works every time.
road armor makes some as well.
