That's a sweet lookin ride! How much more does that bumper weigh compared to oem?
Thanks,did not weigh it,and can not recall shipping weight.

I will say as a low end guess,it’s close to about 40lbs give or take heavier.

Once bolted together,it was awkward to hold and mount by myself.

I was considering the OE style flares but I wasnt sure how it was gonna look. Since seeing yours I may have to just go for it!

Also you mind me asking your tire size and wheel offset?

The package weight was 82lbs, per Amazon. So I'll assume the bumper is around 75lbs or so

Tires are 285’s on Method wheels with 0 offset.
My complaint with the flairs is the same as others with regards to the parking lights and how they fit...

Nice man ive also read the same thing about the lights fitting.

I'm gonna go with some method 317s myself. I'm torn between 285 or 275s. I dont want it to rub the rear crash bars

It might provide more protection on the underbody but not by much when you think about it. When you have a deer come up and in front of you because it decided to be a dick yet chances are it's going to do more damage to the vehicle above the bumper versus just below. If you're going to do it you would be best to go with the ARB Summit. To me going with the Westin or something else is kind of a waste of money because even though you do increase protection in a small area it's not practical enough for me and others were I would rather spend money I'm something else but is a bit more practical.
Fact! Deers are dics!?

Got my pro mod bumper installed last weekend!! I just ordered the 20" double row light bar from westin through Amazon for about $150. I'm getting my fenders and front valence painted and should have them back this weekend.

I too have pro mod. I love it except for 2 issues, 1 sometimes 2 parking sensors think there's an object in front of me and 2 I wish I had saved up more to get one I could mount a winch on. Other wise I'm happy with it. I just put a 2.5 leveling kit on it and now I need bigger tires. if anyone has any suggestions I'm all hears.

Same man and some grille protection would be nice too. But it looks so damn good.

I'm planning on method 317s with +18 offset and I'm leaning towards pirelli scorpion AT plus 275/65/r18.. been researching tires and seems like E rated tires are too heavy for the ranger? Any body running E rated tires? Snow performance is important. I'm only gonna be off roading maybe 20% of the time and possibly towing a 15 ft trailer around 10-15%.

My tire are 285 General grabber ATX3’s and are E rated.Living in the desert,you will destroy tires if you don’t have something cut resistant.
While heavy since Method wheels are not exactly light,my truck still manages 21 mpg as my mostly freeway commute.
I do run a Livernois tune,MBRP 3” dumped exhaust,and AFE charge pipes.She hits the tires through the first 3 gears if ya want LOL

I think the pro mod looks good width-wise with flares or if you get fiberglass fenders the angle on the sides of the bumper compliment the fiberglass well.

Should have the LT kit this weekend to push the tires out!!?

Lol mine only gets 21 mpg with out all the fancy stuff. Been toying with the idea of getting a tune but the warranty stuff seems like an ordeal.

I did finally settle on some tires: the C rated toyo open country at3. I think those have all that I'm lookin for

Nice,Toyo’s were on my short list of tire options.
‘I guess to each their own as far as what they comfortable with Doing or not warranty wise,but I’ve seen too many shit dealers that don’t even handle any kind of warranty work worth a poop...

Doubt I will ever let a dealer touch my junk as long as I own it...
