New Bumper, winch and lights done

[South Florida Ranger]

Finally got the front on. Winch rope is looped down so the sensor does not go off at every stop.

Looks beefy. I could go without the Road Armor sticker though. Do you have any side or 3/4 angle shots?

I like it - will this bumper work with ACC?

Hi James,

One of the better, more attractive aftermarket bumpers I have seen on these forums...JMO!

How much more does that contraption weigh vs the oem bumper? And with the added weight how does the front end handling changed( stock shocks or aftermarket) I was speaking with a friend who builds Roush Raptors and he said the extra weight on a midsized truck could feel like driving around with a snow blade on it. I love the look of your truck, once my funds allow I hope to find a strong light weight setup.

It weights a ton And you can feel it. Will need stiffer springs but in S. FLorida you need protection.

Does it allow you to use the factory skid plate?

Yes you need to purchase the ACC bracket which is available.

Well it weighs a ton more. I will need to add stronger springs however, I plan on adding a 4wheel pop up camper to the bed. So suspension upgrade was always in the plan.
