Default pre runner/tube style bumpers

Got a new phone so sorry if this question has been asked a lot I can't figure this thing out.

But here is my question. I have a 2004 F150 XLT 2wd pickup. I have a 3" level and 2" add a leaf with 285/70/17 Terra Grapplers for now (supposed to be getting a lift,rims,tires, etc this year)

But is anyone running any type of pre runner/tube style bumpers? Getting kind of tired of my stock bumpers and want something different.
So if anyone has any pictures or information that would be great to have.
Mainly trying to see if this type would look ok on a truck without a pre runner suspension set up.
And again if this has been asked previously I apologize


This is my truck as of right now

IMO you can build better than them. Or get a local fab guy to do it better than add.

I had thought about it but I don't know how to weld and I honestly don't know of any places local that does that type of work

Thanks man. It was about 4 k actually but with other stuff 6 k. With mine it's built stronger and better (dimple die cut and a reinforced frame) than add, plus the labor was stupid high. But I didn't pay for it. Some dude hit me so his insurance paid. I think the add bumper like mine is about 2500 with out a light and it's not as good as mine. And my frame had to be cut to facilitate the fit.

Damn that's a little expensive for me lol. I did some more researching and found that Dixon bros makes two bumpers for our year models for $550 each. I may get something like that and maybe bed line it or something. Not 100% sure yet.
