Bumper opinions?

[tikicult]

I am looking at replacing my bumper pretty soon, and I am trying to decide between the ADD Venom or the Stealth. I'll be adding lights at the same time, and I wanted to get some opinions on whether or not my ideas will work, or look silly.

The major consideration is that I do not really like the look of LED bars, so I want to go with round HID lights. However, I also do not want to hide the FORD on the grille, which big HID lights will cover up. Therefore, I am looking at getting 4" HID-X lights. Knowing this, which bumper would look better if I was planning on doing 4-5 lights on it? I have searched everywhere for pictures of a similar setup, but it seems like everyone is doing LED bars or 6" lights.

I vote the outlaw TT bumper. Or go fully custom with your own design. Either way Im with you, not a fan on the looks of a LED bar. square does not belong on this truck.

I like my truck Now if I had to get an aftermarket bumper for my daily driver Raptor, it would be the Outlaw Raptor Artillery bumper. I had an ADD bumper once. It didn't fit.

Different truck (Matt's I think)

IMO the venom is a nice one that wouldn't block the front camera. I really like the stealth but afraid of making the front camera useless.

ADD Venom and dual Rigids get my vote!

Just my .02, but I don't think round pegs fit square holes. Rectangular shaped everything. Headlights assemblies, led's, grill etc.

With that said I don't think any type of lighting mod will make a Raptor look bad.

Your truck your money so hang a set a fleshy pig balls off the hitch if you like.

At this time, I do believe that Blue has the best looking bumper and light combo that can be bought. (but I am partial to the "clean" look of the LED bars)

I can tell you from experience be ready if you put one of the big protruding bumpers for a change in MPG on your truck. I had one of the big one's and I lost 1.5 MPG after I did so much work to better it... Also, the big front bumpers will affect the cooling of the truck if you plan on using it in the heat off road... I had my custom intake system, LT headers/w high flow cats, my mpg improvement was 1-1.5 mpg and lost it all with the bumper install...
Here is what I had... I love the look but the loss of mpg's I wasnt happy with.
