Custom Bumpers

anyone have any pics of some custom bumpers on 04+ f-150's. as of right now i have a baja style light bar up front and i'm wanting to built something big, strong, and destructive. i'm moving to arkansas in a few months and everyone in my family has hit a deer there besides me. and when i do hit one. i want the deer to get messed up, not my truck. i want to get some ideas and specs. pics from other trucks are welcome as well for ideas.

thanks

I haven't seen any custom bumpers that I've liked on 04+ F150's yet. The few I've seen stick out really far and generally look hideous. I haven't pulled the bumper off to see what the frame looks like but I don't see why a decent looking bumper can't be made for them.
I've seen some of the ranch hands or whatever and they look like crap, imo...

I've lived in arkansas all my life and never hit a deer!! (knock on wood) We are two of very few people that can say that!!

Oh....and I'd have to agree that I've never seen a big bumper on these things that I thought looked very good either...sorry

If your looking for one of those big bulky bumpers that cost $1500+, I hear a lot of good things about ranchhand, road armor...but If you like that pre-runner bar style, I have run dixion bros. racing bumpers on my past two trucks and they are very tough for being so simple. they are not like those crappy westin bars that you see everywhere...there made to last. there outa cali. and they will ship to you. we used to take down small trees with them haha and hit those hill that were just a little too steep with no problem. they have a skid plate on them and all. check out their website. bumpers for our trucks are only about 550-600 bucks. just a sugestion.

I've lived here in AR all my life and hit a lot of deer! You can either jack your truck up with a big *** lift and just run them over, or get a really good insurance agency like State Farm if your in a stock truck. LOL

I really like the look of Boondock Bumpers on the '04+ F150s... Although they come with a hefty price tag.
