GEN 1 Raptor Bumper Recommendations

[Ikarah]

I just got mt first 2011 SVT Raptor but, the aftermarket bumper thats on it is not great. The fitment doesn't line up correctly makes me think it came from a smaller width F150. Are there any good recommendations for an affordable front steel bumper that won't break the bank and is plug and play? Thanks all

What kind of bumper? Frame cut (probably not since plug and play), tubular, plate steel, valence, winch mount, big ol brush guard boat anchor, something to improve approach angle? There’s a ton of options.

This is what's currently on and it doesn't look like it belongs to the car. I don't mind having something a similar style that's not too expensive/ not to heavy. Would be plug and play and steel. Thoughts? To be honest I don't know much about aftermarket bumpers it's my first truck

That is an odd looking replacement.

First off, figure out what style you are after. Then go from there. ADD makes a ton of bumpers with differebt looks from nearly nothing (giggity) to pre runner looks like the one I have.

Thank you for your response, I would say I'm looking for something that looks more low profile with no pre-runner guard l, preferably lightweight, steel

Edit: Is the stock SVT Raptor bumper made of steel?

The Raptor shall be referred to as a truck, not a car.

That bumper is horrible, I agree.

ADD and SVC both make nice looking bumpers, and there are expensive as hell. There are others who make them as well, that's just two off the top of my head.

Nice looking and cheap don't go together for aftermarket bumpers, expecially when an F150 Raptor is involved. Due to the extra width, only bumpers made for a Raptopr fit a Raptor. You are going to need to shell out a least $2000, probably closer to $3000 to get something good. And it's going to rust like a SOB in the first winter.

I'd look for a stock bumper if I were you.

I just installed a SVC bumper on my Gen 2. They are great and good quality. I would look at the 3 websites listed above and order one you like.

It really is personal preference as far as style goes. Use of the truck plays a little part in it as well. Don't necessarily need a frame cut bumper if mall cruiser and forest service roads.

Thank you those are some awesome options for the truck, I really appreciate it. Do you know if the stock bumper is just plastic or is it steel? Ive never been up close to one so I'm not too sure

I'll look into those too. Ty!

Stock bumper is steel, although the skid plate you see is aluminum.
