Bumper Damage Consult
My wife (just the facts - Not blaming her :P) accidentally ran over a wood log vertical barrier at a campground during a sharp turn and the bumper tore/cracked in two places during and after backing the truck off of the log.
We are using this as an opportunity to buy a new bumper (anniversary present for both of us!). However, looking at where the damage is, I don't think one of the "low profile" bumpers is an option? I think the crack is too far out on the driver side?
I think the only option is a full length bumper replacement?

I think you're right. The damage on the driver's side looks to be a little too far outside the valance.

High clearance and a C4 or SSO hybrid will work fine.

@ Signal
Can you please elaborate more? I have a SSO rack and I like their products. It doesn't look like the SSO Hybrid will work based on my driver side damage or am I mistaken?

The bumper and the stage 2 with a fiberglass kit and some touch up paint.

I would go hybrid if you don't want to find a new cover/re-paint. Sure you could get the high-clearance cuts but they will still require you fix the crack.
There's a Lil B's tube bumper for sale in Denver PC and ready to go for $1700 obo - it's tempting but I just got my C4 lo pro and love it!

Do not go SSO unless you want the risk of getting a damaged bumper and waiting 6+ months for a replacement and or Fed Ex claim to go through. Go with a high clearance or hybrid option from Demello Offroad (what I’m running), CBI, C4 etc.

I’m partial to the Shrockworks bumper at the moment if I had to go with new full bumper. Still researching!

Demello is a joke, CBI and C4 are miles ahead of those clowns when it comes to design, quality, and customer service.

I have their rear bumper, their bumpers are incredibly well built and braced at all corners.
