Off road bumper

Looking for ideas on an off-road front bumper for my 1993 f150. Hit a deer tonight, and when I move to a farm there will be a lot more Deer to hit going into town and going out. Would love to see some photos of what you have on your 92-96. Think 3/16" would be enough to stop a deer from damaging the truck at around 70 kph? Also, should I get a leveling kit to compensate for the extra weight?

Wasn't much damage but it still makes me wanna get a good bumper for my truck. This is my grandma's 95. I'm pretty sure the deers head hit the light. All I saw going down the highway was a pair of eyes come out of the ditch a second before I hit it

It didn't shatter the headlight lense but it cracked it and broke the assembly. Hopefully not the header panel too

My dad hit a lot of things in this truck. I received it at 98K and it has probably been involved in 4-5 accidents conservatively (he wouldn't tell us about them all). Definitely has hit a deer at one point early in the bumpers life over 10 years ago. Its still standing to this day although its shimmed with washers since the bumper brackets are so bent from when my dad would slam into things.

Why did you ask for help if your Uncle was your plan?

Even very young children can use google.

Where you located? Im from Kelowna BC and build bumpers. If your interested I know you said ideas. If you found an idea I can do a 3d one on the computer. would save alot on shipping and wouldn't look like a piece of slag welded on the front. A quick quote would be 1500 With Line X coating and 3/16 weight is about 150lbs
