No experience with either but I'm following this thread and will add Go
Westy Bumpers are on sale right now for January.

GOWesty bumpers with trailer hitch on rear bumper was $795 a pair now
$715.50. And the "regular" GOWesty bumpers with NO trailer hitch were  $595
a pair, now $535.50. The sale is for the month of January according to the
website.

And then just for the record I see the new bumpers at the Van Cafe are $395
Front and $645 rear for a total of $1040.

I'm sure you have this information Troy, but for the discussion I included
the prices. I'm considering a bumper upgrade myself.

(I have no affiliation with GOWesty or Van Cafe.)
