I like my stock bumper because I can beat the bag out of it, it's light, inexpensive to replace, and wont rust.

I love AEV products but the Teraflex beats the snot out of this. It's cheaper,it's Aluminum, and it's centered on the tailgate( The AEV is offset and looks stupid)

I loved the AEV but agree the Teraflex has the upper hand now.

AEV still has the optional gas tank which is pretty amazing if you are like me and carry jerry cans. I've considered it just for this option.
