If you paid with a credit card do a charge back, and demand they fix it and pay return shipping. Be sure they are at fault before doing so.I finally got my bumper in and had an autobody shop install if for me. They said it was a pain in the butt. The worst thing was that the passenger side was welded at an incorrect angle and when bolted up it was way under the fender. The driver side was fine. They didn't tell me anything about it, instead they went ahead and put it on the frame straightener and pulled that side out. Looks perfect now, but there is a gap on that side so that you can see a little moreof the condensor for the AC. So I contacted TAG about the bumper not fitting and he said that they won't do anything about it because we voided the warranty by pulling the bumper out. The guy was a big jerk. The 5.5" lights don't fit in the 5" holes they made for it either. you guys can do what you like, but my opinion is not to do business with these guys. First they tell me 2 weeks for the bumper and it turns into 2 1/2 months. Then when we finally get the bumper it is of poor craftsmanship. I guess I could have spend $121 to send it back to them and $121 to get it back in another 2 months and maybe got one that would fit. Sorry to rant, but TAG won't call me back and I had to get that out.
Well TAG is correct that the warranty was voided when the bumper was pulled. I would be more upset with the installer for on contacting you first to see what you wanted to do. Can blame TAG for someone else voiding the warranty. They might have been a little more friendly if they were contacted about the poor fit first.I finally got my bumper in and had an autobody shop install if for me. They said it was a pain in the butt.

Both would affect MPG in some way, but I would count on the Grabber AT2's affecting the MPG more so than the bumper...those tires are heavy. Rotational weight plays more of a factor than just stationary weight...meaning I would think the rolling resistance of the heavier tires would put more drag on the engine than just the bumpers making the truck heavier.
I haven't seen these guys around for a loooooong time.
