Default Lightweight off-road bumpers?

Does anyone know of a company who makes lightweight off-road bumpers for '09-'14 F150's? Similar to Fab Fours new Vengeance bumpers? I like those but they are currently only for '15 F150's. Looking for something around 100lbs and under for front. Compiling my build/want list.

Not sure what your budget is but ADD has some nice ones but are $$$!

I don't really know if they are " Lightweight " though.

They are nice bumpers but for their small size they are heavy. Around 150lbs vs. the 180lbs of the Iron Bull bumpers I was considering.

the only thing that will come close to 'light weight' will be a single tube bumper with one support per side (frame to corner). you could make one MUCH cheaper than you can buy one but I'm sure any of the desert fab shops (VDF specifically) would make you one to spec. The VDF guys did several DIY videos on making this stuff yourself - google 'full droop tv' and you can see if it's something you are up for.

In terms of just calling someone up and buying one, Stewart RaceWorks has a minimalist design.

Thanks, I didn't even think about getting one fabbed.


You have a nice truck by the way. I wish they made half the mods for regular F150's as they do for Raptors.

I just picked up an ADD venom with the stealth plates and the winch mount. There is NO way it weighs 150 pounds. Maybe.. Maybe weighs 60lbs.

the Nfab RSP was like a paperweight.

They might be including the shipping crate but I do not know.

From their website (add venom):
Part Number: F052001250103
Weight: 145 lb (66 kg)
Dimensions: 87 x 46 x 31 in (221 x 117 x 79 cm)

They are including full shipping weight. I emailed and the Venom W/ winch mount is approx. 75lbs and the Stealth W/ winch mount is approx. 85lbs.


Looks like the Stealth is on the table.

I have the stealth and it's actually a lot lighter than I expected. Still strong tho, I took out a small tree the other day and the bumper didn't flinch. I flinched tho lol.

We have two styles of bumpers both are lightweight and are very strong. This is our raceline style bumper we also have a pre-runner bumper that is a direct bolt on replacement where as the raceline you have to cut the frame horns off which gives you an amazing approach angle.
