Help me decide

Bumper by far that GMC grille is probably one of their best to date.

I agree with the front end. I've owned 6 Chevrolet trucks since i started driving and went to the dealership for another until I saw the GMC parked right next to it. Really like Chevy but I think GMC killed them with the front end.

Ok spoke with Road Armor and the bumper is available for sale and they even gave me the parts numbers/price list. Said lead time would be four weeks to build and ship. Now just got off the phone with a distributor for the bumper and was told after trying to contact RA for three days to no avail they were told 3 months. And that for a bumper that's just now getting released and could possibly have production errors like everything else new that comes to the market.
I'm really torn I like the bumper but could be in the grill now for wayyy less and could do the install myself saving even more money.
Sorry just needed to vent. Any suggestions?

I wouldn't let an immaterial amount of time make a long-term decision. My .02.

I'm also partial to the bumper, lol.

Well bumper it is. Ordered two weeks ago and it came in today way faster than they quoted. Especially with free freight.

I see the "wheel thingy" as for looks unless your going for a lift or lowered truck and need the change the wheel size for different tires. The bumper for me is for function. I live in the country so more protection as in bumpers can never hurt plus I need the lights to see driving through the woods. Which is why I was looking at the bumper vs the grill which also had lights.
