So I banged up my rear bumper. Instead of replacing it with another stock one I'm thinking about going aftermarket. I'm looking at the RC one and the Iron Cross one, but would love to see pics of any brand on your truck. Thanks!

I did the same thing. Banged up my rear bumper on my brand new ‘21 granite crystal night edition (I’m new to trucks and towing).

Just got the RC bumper above installed and absolutely love it. Think it looks really good on our color and matched the night edition black really well. I’d highly recommend it. Feels very solid and looks great. The lights are a nice bonus too.

Also…pics of where I mounted the switch and with the lights on which is pretty useless during the day lol.

We go up to VT a lot and it’s pretty remote/dark at night. These lights have been key loading/unloading up there!

This is the bumper I'd go with on these trucks. Always loved the GM trucks having that little step built in. Some people hate it but I think it just looks right on these trucks.

That bumper is sweet.
How do the foot step holes work?
Are they the right size/location?
The foot holes are in a good spot and actually have some grip to avoid slipping. I have the kick out step which sits a little lower than the ones in the bumper. Since I’ve had this bumper installed, I haven’t used the kick out step once. Really no need for it with the ones in the bumper. They work well.

I'm looking at the same bumper. For 2021 RAM . Where are the licence plate illuminating lights?

How was the installation with the kickout step? I haven’t really looked under to see where that was mounted and wasn’t sure if this bumper would interfere.

Waiting on this on to be finished for my truck. He has an option for the step pockets. I chose not to get them as I have the retractable RAM step, which I think is a much better option. Especially with a lifted truck. It will have tow hooks in the vertical slots to match my front bumper from them. IMG_20230928_174801.jpg IMG_20230928_174805.jpg PXL_20231008_180048973.jpg
