Help me decide!

Alright so the time is almost here for me to put my hoe in the shop to put all of my stuff on. I've almost got my claim for the hood reversed and my grille is supposed to arrive any minute now. What I have been waffling on for some time now is whether to roll pan or not. I love the look but I basically have to sacrifice either the spare or the hitch. The hitch is a must and I don't love the idea of not having a spare especially when we go camping in the middle of nowhere on occasion. The alternative would be to just have the stock bumper color matched while in the shop with everything else. At first I was completely sold on the roll pan as I think it is hands down the best look for the vehicle. What's your vote?

Someone in a different thread said that the new Avalanche bumper bolts right up and it comes painted already. So you find one and have it painted to match. I think it looks alot better than our bumper IMHO...

The only thing I don't like about the 07+ Avalanche bumper is the 4 round areas in the bottom of the bumper that I imagine are screw covers or something. It's not so bad where I don't think it is a bad option though. I'll have to see if I can find how the fitment is first though.

if i'm not mistaken those are back up sensors

That would make sense... look semi similar to the ones that were in my 545 I used to have, just not as well blended in.

that's what they are in the 2000-2006 escalade bumper

well that avalanche bumper looks like the 00-06 denali bumper, but the denail bumper doesn't have the backup sensors, so maybe check into that? other than that, ya paint to match. I like the rollpan look too, but with my luck I'd get hit from behind and mess up the tailgate too

Denali bumper I don't trust my fellow motorists enough to rock a rollpan on my suv, especially with my dog in the back. I feel like these trucks need a rear bumper like they need a roof rack otherwise the body line gets all ****** up. Again just my opinion.
