I sure this has been gone over at least a 1000 times but need some adviuse on what bulks to get and why you prefer one over another. Yesterday we got access to a ole rock quarry and we tore it up I think between the 2 of us " my son and I" we went through a gallon of fuel. Was a great day till we decided to have a drag race through this gulley and we both hit a hidden rut and we both end over ended at least 8-10 times I thought for sure both trucks were wasted but mine landed on its tires and kept on going " I was driving my Savage X by the way and my son was the T MAXX, and we ran down for the inspection of his the front end was basically hanging off, broke the skid plate in half and the bulk head is broke in half amazingly enough thats all the damage thanks to Lundsford Pins and RPM arms and integy piggy back shocks came out unscaved as well, My Savage X is bone stock and barely even has a scratch. But the moral of the Story I need to get him the some bulkheads.....
 
I use Golden Horizon bulks and I think they are great. Made from 6061 billet aluminum so they are super tough and also come with a lifetime warranty. The fit and finish of these bulks is very nice and they wont break the bank either. FLM also makes some very nice aluminum parts with warranty, butyou will pay a bit more for them. Either of these brands would be a great investment.
 
+1 for Ants suggestion. My only concern or advice would be to watch how much aluminum you throw onto the rig. You still need a little flex from the stock plastics to dissipate some of the impacts. If you go with too much aluminum you loose that flexing and repairs can become quiet expensive when you have to replace 2 or 3 components instead of 1 or 2
