ok guys, ive been looking at some off-road bumpers lately, mainly the trailready style bumper (http://www.trailready.com/94_ram.html) but the question is, does anyone have a clue what a bumper like this would weigh? I'd hate to mount it up and have the front end sag

if youve done upgrades in the suspension and dont have all orginal 94 suspension i dont see why it would sag. the one i saw put on a ram on 'trucks' was close to 250-300 i belive, after a suspsenion lift and it didnt sag or did they mention about bumpers saggin the front end.

mabye someone on here has one, i dont see them to much but they could be of better assistance. im going the roll pan and sport bumper route

it seems like i cant keep the deer away from my truck lately, so body armor seems like a good idea, the only downside is the bumper runs 1800 bucks, with the grill guard that is

I dont know if a lift would have helped me with the last deer I hit, I was going to work and came up over a hill and one came running out of the ditch and tried to jump over the truck. Didnt work to well for her, her head took out the windshield, and than she rolled down the drivers side of the truck, I should have took pictures, but body damage makes me sad

Thats the 3rd deer with this truck btw
