u never know when your gonna need some extra metal up front. ask ilariat. me and him went to a concert a while back and he parked his truck nose out and when we came back there was red paint all over his guard haha
out of those 5....I go with #2. BUT... you will need to make it strong. just that brush guard/push bar wont be strong enough to...pull our truck up a hill, pull you out of the mud...it will bend.
