OK, How Tough...Hit anything/anyone...

May be in the market for a front bumper for my Sport 3500 4x4, and was looking at the Denver Off Road and the Road Armour, but wanted to know from those who have them (and others) how they handle hitting something.

Stopping a 4+ ton truck (base without camper or trailer) is suprisingly effective, but still looking at getting a 'Pinto Splitter' bumper to minimize damage on my end if I hit an animal or a compact.

I don't need a front winch, but would like a front receiver (for a convertible winch and moving trailer) and my front GAWR would accomodate anything up to a Road Armor.

SO...If you have TAGGED medium sized animals or compact cars/trucks, let me know how your bumper faired the carnage. Info would be insturmental in my decision, and I am open for other options.
