please dont get one of those huge redonkelous bumpers. but i say 2 since it closely resembles the lightning. so go with the lightning.

or what you should do is get a BIG STEEL bumper. you know you wanna. let that bastard in the raptor hit you now!

not to get off topic, but look whos talking!its 230 here. so its what 430 or 530 there? isnt it past your bed time? haha
and i dont sleep since i dont have a job. i stay up all night trying to find one and sending out applications.

and as for my programmer... idk. i havent had the chance to put in the go go juice yet. next week i will though. hopefully. but yes the performance is great, but the mileage still sucks. so idk about selling it yet. have to get my hypertech back first then ill decide. see whats going on if i get a new truck or not.

I like the PIAA bumper but you can't get it anymore. the lighting bumpers are nice not a big fan if its lifted with it. Depends what look your looking for, full body kit if your doing the larger bumpers, by its self number 3 I guess

I like the Lightning bumper the best. The others are too ricey for me. If you go the L route, get a roll pan too to make both ends mesh. Something to consider is the Harley lower valence on the stock bumper. That simple addition does make a difference.

They don't make them for my truck....and they are not cheap either from what I seen...after looking at mine a little closer yesterday, I think all I have to replace is the top plastic molded piece that goes on top of the bumper...they come in the grey plastic or you can get the smooth kind and have it painted...I think I will go with the painted one and keep everything black...not only that, the plastic after a while looks like shit and no one has made a treatment for it that keeps it looking nice....

Ok baker stop thinking. All those bumpers look like ****.

1.The problem is that they are made to go with an entire kit. Meaning the front bumper sits lower in order to match the side skirts which also sit lower, but your not getting side skirts.

2. Your truck is stock and not a street king meaning its not lowered and sitting on big rims so its gonna look retarded.

3. And your biggest problem is knowing where those kits are made. Trust me when I tell you that your gonna spend an arm and a leg at the body shop trying to get that bumper to properly align with the lines of the truck. Those ebay kits a crap and all made in China. Ive been through this before when I had my G37 and spent really good money on imported part from Japan direct from the manufacturer while others were buying knock offs from China. In the long run the cracked or didnt fit.

I put #2 on my last F150 4x4 and it looked bad-ass in my opinion, I would go with that one for sure out if those choices. Tip though get a quality one that the fog lights can easily be mounted, I had to modify mine alot just to get fog lights in. Really changed to appearance.
