https://www.f150forum.com/f6/calling...umpers-266533/ for your steel bumper needs... sorta lol, i have a 200 pound frontier bumper/grille guard, on stock coil springs without any sag, or so little idk, but im also 2wd so that might make for a different situation in sense of sag. hers a pic of how my truck sits with it from the side so you can compare front to back.

Awesome, it doesn't look like it weighs down the truck at all, and in the link you posted there is someone with an iron bull defender 8 that looks killer! Ill post some pics of the before and after once I get around to installing it...

So I finnally got around to installing the iron cross bumper after 4 months in storage :/
I will post some before and after pictures before the end of the day today.

Let me just give some quick details.

Fist of all it looks amazing ! I have no problems with weight or sagging front suspension at all. The only problem now is that every time I get on or off my truck I spend an extra 5 minutes looking at my beautiful bumper lol.

Stay tuned for pictures !
