I just installed a black Steelcraft Bull Bar and Go Rhino Hitch Step. I like how they look and they might help with careless parallel parker's.

I dont blame you puting those on. I lived in chicago 18 months and got hit 6 times. So many idiot drivers.
 
Nice job. I have a similar bull bar on the front. Nice addition to the back. Will have to look into that.:D
 
Now we'll be able to tell our "twin" Pacific Blue Metallic T4Rs apart ... yours with the black bull bar and hitch step, mine with the stainless steel bull bar and hitch step.

Looks good! :)
 
I have been going back and forth for about 6 months now on this purchase but I really like the way that looks, could you maybe do me a favor and take a pic of the underneath showing how far back the skid plate on the bull bar goes?
 
How big of lights can you install on the predrilled holes? Can you take measurements?

I'm curious if a set of lighforce 170 or 240's would fit in there...
 
Thanks for all of the feedback guys! I had to take my recent pics on grass and I drove up into a playground from a local school. Luckily nobody came around. Like Swamp Rider said, the Steelcraft mounts in four places so it it very tight and has no vibrations. I wanted something for the back as well, and thanks to Bossman, found the Go Rhino step. We are now fraternal twins.

The Go Rhino step was $99.95 and I found it on amazon.

since I already have a Man-A-Fre front skid, I too was concerned that the Bull Bar skid may not fit correctly. There is absolutely no issue and the accompanying skid just tucks under the front bumper a bit. I will post a pic later today.

Like many others have said, the Bull Bar and Hitch step offer only minor protection from low speed bumps. I do think that they make the truck look much more aggressive.
 
Not a fan of the front bull bar. For protection in the back I leave 2" drop hitch with ball on all year. Neither of those will offer any real protection.

I have the Cornfed 3/2 lift. I will eventually get bigger tires, but my Michelin's only have about 20,000 miles on them and are basically like new. The lift was a decision that I thought about for a long time. I am really happy with the Cornfed kit. Many others go with Daystar, but I was sold on the aluminum front spacers that will never sag.

As for the Steelcraft Bull Bar, there are no holes pre-drilled for lights. I also plan to add driving lights and think they look the best mounted to the grill itself.

Don't know about where you live but up here I think it's illegal (not sure) to leave your hitch on when you arent using. Not only that but I know someone that left their hitch on and someone walking by must have hit their shin on it because they pulled the hitch off and then threw it through the back window of the guys truck.

Much safer to have a hitch step that someone isn't going to smack their shin on, the hitch step also looks much nicer.

I am running Hella500 and I guess thats the most you can go with.
