Best HD Rear Bumper for a 2010 Ram 2500

I was recently involved in a slow speed accident. While stopped in a parking lot I was rear ended. The person was probably going 5mph and due to my truck's height she basically went under my bumper. She suffered a fair amount of damage to her hood, bumper, and grill.

My truck came out mostly unscathed but still suffered a little damage. Her adjuster will be looking at my truck and I'm sure I'll be cut a check. What I would like to do is replace the tin foil factory bumper with an aftermarket HD bumper. I've looked online at Road Armor, Fab Fours, Smitty Built, Reunel, Aluminess, and others.

I would like to keep my factory trailer plug arrangement and I also have the back up sensors in the bumper. However, for the right bumper I'll give them up. I see most come powder coated but I'm leaning towards Line-X for durability.

I'm all ears if you have input.

Check out Backwoods Bumpers as well as Trail Ready Bumpers. I prefer the look of the backwoods rear bumper but LOVE the trail ready front bumper.

Trail Ready's product looks good! I do wish they'd offer a non-winch front model though. I got a very informative e-mail from the rep. Everything comes with a double powdercoated finish as I recall.

I recently bought a aluminess front bumper and have nothing but good things to say about aluminess.
I've visited the Aluminess factory here. Pretty impressive product. They had crated up an order for a Canadian customer while I was there. Looked like it would arrive unscathed.

Trail Ready bumpers looks very similar to Buckstop. Any known affiliation?

Cactus Red will have a Backwoods on soon - it should ship next week. For the $$$, it's one heck of a nice bumper.

I'm 99% it will be a backwoods bumper. Just need to get the insurance money first. Crawler, how long did yo wait for your bumper?

It's about a 6 week wait. Ordered mine on the 12th of Feb, it should ship next week if all goes according to schedule.
