Lower Bumper add on?
I am looking for some more protection on the lower bumper side.
Almost took out some lowered rice-racer today (their fault) and I realized he'd fit entirely under my bumper, the result being this
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourcei...r%20top%20gear
In my search today I found the following mystery part today and I am trying to find out what it is.
The picture shows just a regular (ekhm) Road Armor Stealt 'bumper' if you can call it that. However underneath, in front of the steering stabilizer and axle is that black little bar.
What is that thing?

Pulled this off another site. My 2000 doesn't have one either.
"Starting in October 2000, all 2001 model year F250, F350, F450, and F550 trucks will have front Blocker Beams as
standard equipment. This unique beam is included to enhance under ride crash protection and was first introduced on the
2000 Excursion. During a frontal collision with a car, the Blocker Beam is designed to prevent the car from sliding beneath
the higher riding front truck bumper.
Removal of the Blocker Beam, without the installation of snowplow attachment hardware, may affect air bag deployment
in a crash. The truck should not be operated without either the snowplow mounting hardware or the Blocker Beam in
place, It is possible that some snowplow mounts may be installable without removing the Blocker Beam. This
configuration is also acceptable."
