This is the prerunner bumper. A great option as well and still has a better approach angle than stock! We do make these for both raptors and f150's the top tube is obviously shorter on the ones we do for f150's. Have any questions feel free to ask.

I wonder if those pre runner bumpers will hold up to any actual impact at all.

Considering the stock front weighs about 50lbs and the rear probably even less as well as being as flimsy as a paper towel, I do not see them not.

There might not be a lot of bumper there but I promise you these bumpers if made correctly and welded properly can hold up to a hell of an impact where as the stock bumpers are extremely flimsy and weak

What about 04-08, [MENTION=208590]Pat'sRAPTOR[/MENTION]?

been looking for a new front bumper for my 06 FX4 that can retain factory fog lights and mount a small lightbar or two.

No our bumpers wouldn't work the frame itself is different. But there are a bunc of different companies that make the same style bumper even for older models.

What bumper did you go with?

I ran the nfab rsp front bumper on my old truck and it was a great tubular bumper. i hit 3 deer with it and it never got a scratch. The powder coat held up really well, and it came in at 74 lbs on the shipping label. If I ever do an off road build again I will use their bumper. Another positive for them is the price point, i got mine for 650 shipped and custom fit a 35" double row led bar into the cage and a set of dually's mounted back inside the bumper for another 300.Name:  70B89BC3-5954-4652-ADBB-E4CCD8B9FD75.jpg

I decided I am going to pick up a MIG sometime early next year and practice welding and then FAB my own.

Someone pulled out in front of me recently and I whacked them good. My Rogue Racing Rebel bumper looked perfectly fine, when removed it was just a little bent at the frame horn.
