Not just Lariat owners. Some of us XLT owners have it too and love it.

Doesn't the winch block the air flow to the intercooler?

Warn put one on one of our stock vehicles when to ranger first came out. It was really heavy and the truck didn't have a leveling kit. It made the front sag real low and and the stance looked goofy in my opinion. They may have lightened them up for production.

This is concerning.. how much do they weigh?

I called Warn, the production model only comes out to 130lbs. Mine will be delivered by freight on Monday.
Hmm.. I would hope it doesnā€™t make the front end sag too much

Nah, thatā€™s actually pretty light for a steel bumper. If it does sag, Iā€™ll just adjust my coilovers another 1/2ā€.

Also, Iā€™m assuming the stock springs on the aforementioned truck had a much lower load and spring rate than the springs on my Icon coilovers considering the difference in ride.

Yup, for Old Man Emu suspensions, sporting a winch bumper would bump one from standard to medium-duty Nitrocharger shocks. A 130-lb. bumper will lower the front ride height of a stock-shocked truck, is my guess.

@HoosierT, if the Warn bumper lowers your front ride height by some, you could consider deleting your rear blocks in order to retain the same rake that you wanted. From past experience, the more one dials up the ride height (from 2.5" to 3.0", for example), the stiffer the ride is.

I donā€™t have rear blocks. I have an additional leaf spring but I enjoy the added stiffness in the rear. Agreed on the front, I would consider having Icon put stiffer springs on if it drops the front too much.

Looks too big of a bumper. Iā€™m a fan of sleek and clean. Still havenā€™t found a ranger bumper Iā€™m in love with.
