4 inch diameter bull bar too big ?

I found a bull bar online that is 4 inches instead of 3 inches, would that look to big or not right? Any one have one by chance?

Depends on your setup I think. If you are running a 6+ inch lift, and 35or 37 mud tires with flares etc, then the extra beef sits well. On a simple leveled or especially stock suspension, the 4 inch is a little much.

yea i think so too, the pic was on a lifted and bigger tire f150. Initially thought about the protection it might have over a 3 inch. But i think it wouldnt look right either. Thanks.

Neither one is going to offer more "protection than the other" in the case of an actual accident. They're both going to do just as much damage as the other to your truck.

Yeah it pretty much takes a whole bumper replacement to offer any significant protection from anything more than a fender bender
