First off I want to say that this site is one of the best out there for Dakota owners around the globe. You guys are quite knowledgeable when it comes to your trucks, and I've picked up a lot of tips and tricks that I've applied to my beast.
Now to the purpose of this post:
Has any one had any experience with either Road Armor or Hanson bumpers? I am considering a purchase and am torn between this one
http://www.hansonenterprise.com/dodge.htm
or
http://www.roadarmor.com/trucks_suv's.htm
If anyone has any info that may be of use, or other makes of similar bumpers, lets hear it.
Or zap me a message
Dakota4by4@hotmail.com
Thanks

From what I've taken about all the times I talked to both companies.
Hanson Enterprise and Road Armor use 1/4" for the winch mount and the sub-frame the rest is 3/18".
Hanson Enterprise uses the factory fog lights where Road Armor has holes for 7" lights (PIAA or Hella). I already broke my OEM lights so I'd rather go w/ the Road Armor.
But it's up to you in the end. I don't have a price on the Road Armor bumper because it depends on the options you want. Same with the Hanson Enterprise. But I'm almost sure the Hanson Enterprise will be more expensive.
As far as what the Dakota bumper will look like for Road Armor. http://www.roadarmor.com/wpe23400.jpg is what they are going after.

I had a hanson bumper on my truck and I absolutely loved it. I'm gonna put it on the new one as well. the great thing about hanson is for the fog you send him the lights that you want to use and he'll make the bumper fit the lights, ie you I had him build it so I could put a set of Hella 550 driving lights in there and they work great. Since this is all custom you can get whatever you want. I recommend the hanson although it is a little expensive, I paid 1500 for mine. up to you
But one thing to consider before you get the bumper regardless of which one you chose. The bumpers with a winch weigh close to 200 lbs it made the front og my truck drop about a inch so be ready to trim or you can get larger spring for the front to compensate.

all the links here are bad..im looking at all of these bumpers and have only found the ones from kenmnt.com and it is SWEET! but i would really like to see the rest. looking at lifting my 04 but looks like i will be stuck with just a body lift, which i think im fine with. but i want a winch but dont want to cover up the tough look of the front end.
