    Don’t think you will get any added clearance from either of these. The rear hitch is the limiting factor but also pretty burly so you can drag it for days and be fine. To truly be high clearance you have to lift the hitch and the bedsides and cut the exhaust above the rear axle. Also did some research on some of these and they use some lightweight plate and hardware for mounting that leaves you pretty much just as vulnerable as stock. If you hit it it’s just gonna crumple up into the bedside. Got a custom fab Chad welding up my front and rear now :) can’t wait to see the front and rear finished! Believe this bumper can take a hit, and honestly it’s so high might be hard to hit it on anything.
    Even the “stealth” rear and those in that price range use 1/4” plate for mounting. The c4 overland doesn’t really increase your clearance but does at least use 3/16” plate to mount it so would provide you protection and resist deforming into your bedside.

    I was looking at the RC bumper until I found the Road Armor Stealth. That thing is solid....no flimsiness at all. It weighs about 140 lbs.

    Whoa! That is a solid weight. I’ll be interested to know how much mine weighs. Got a pic? How thick are the mounting plates?
