Picked up a '17 CCLB Cummins Ram 2500 a year ago, and finally get around to setting the thing up to be more than just a daily commuter. Went hunting for a winch bumper to hang my existing Warn M12 on, and was rather shocked to find to there's a whole lot nothing for large frame winch bumpers for these trucks. Plenty for the mid frame winches, but virtually nothing for large frame.
I found the ARB, then the Warn and TJM that have discontinued theirs....and a couple others that look like they came off the set of a Transformers movie.
I prefer the simple, rectangular-ish bumper that sticks out a bit, because then it also makes a handy step for underhood work. I actually really liked the TJM for this reason -
I'm not wild about the modular look of the ARB, but then function always wins over form in my book, and I don't want to go to a smaller winch if I can avoid it...and if the ARB ends up being the only option here, I'd rather have a look I don't like than a function I don't like.
