I've been kinda thinking of getting one as well. My reason for not getting one is I have to have a front license plate. The front plate covers too much of the bar. If you don't have to have the plate, I'd say go for it. Also, I think they look awesome on a truck with larger tires or a lift.

It will look kick a@* on your truck. I am going to be picking one up down the road also. I want to upgrade my radio first.

I love the bull bar

I really like the looks of the bull bar. I have a red supercrew with a bull bar. I will post some close up pic's




Hope this helps. If anyone wants to photo chop these pictures onto your truck feel free to do so.

Not a problem. There are license re-location kits available for the Westin Ultimate Bullbar.

I thought you were going to do a 3" body? If so, you'll need some new brackets.

I say wait until you have your lift and tires before you make the choice.

Yes, thump is right. Wait until you do the lift. It will throw off the whole truck. The brackets supplied won't work and you will have to modify the brackets. I am not sure do they make brackets for the bull bar due to a body lift? I am not sure. I would like to add a body lift to my truck, but my only concern is the bull bar. Will it work or not.

They don't make brackets but if you have access to a welder, you could make some easily. If not, you could have a machine shop do it for you.

Bull bar

I have a bullbar on my truck and I have the relocation kit for the license plate. I think it's about $17 bucks for one. Your plate goes right about the middle bar. It doesn't hide any part of the bar looks really good.

rdblan2 Click on the little camera next to my signature on the right. The picture that pops up is a photo of my F150 with the Westin Bull Bar and the plate relocation bracket.
