Added a Ken Hanna rear bumper today.
I gained 3 - 6 inches of clearance at the bumper, depending on where you measure. I added 10mm OME packers in the rear to help keep things from sagging with the added weight. I do already have the OME heavy springs though.
With the bumper and 15 gallons of gas in the jerry can holder, I am down about 1/4" (measured to the bottom of the fender flare) from where it sat with the stock bumper, no gas cans (obviously!) and no packer.
The bottom pic shows the resonatorectomy...

Real nice addition!
I just love that jerry can carrier.
Ive been reading that Hannas shop is busy filling orders - very popular indeed.
How long did it take you from order to delivery?
With the resonator cut off have you been hearing that turbo whirring sound with acceleration?
Again very nice.

I sent my first payment of 50% the first week of June. Bumper came in 9/22. So about 3.5 months.
I can tell there is something different going on...it sounds a little more buzzey. I have not given it past 1/3 throttle since the 'ectomy - just a run to the parts store. I'll report back on what heavier throttle sounds like. I am hopeful that it won't be strange enough to make me want to spend any more money. :sombrero:

kinda sounds "turbo like" - I have to do something about the whine on mine - I am waiting until I install my Aux tank to see what room I have left - I turn up the music when I hear it
nice looking bumper! Ken Does great work :bowdown:

HAHA, you complimented my front bumper , now i'm complimenting you on your rear bumper.
Looks very solid, good luck testing it out.
I also removed my resonator and it gave my V8 a little more growl at full throttle and a little deeper idle, nothing to be ashamed about.

I know it's not your b-day but it sure feels like it when you get a large part for your rig!
