Installed steelcraft HD front bumper

Just wanted to share my new bumper **** with yall. It's a steelcraft hd front replacement.

I built my own harness for the fog lights since my truck is an xl model. I found some led fogs on ebay for 70 bucks and wired them to an upfitter switch(I leave it on full time since the upfitter shuts off when I turn back the key).

That looks awesome! I've got a similar bumper on my 350, and about to install aftermarket fogs tomorrow.

did your truck come with fogs or is yours an xl as well? If your truck didn't come with fogs make sure the ones you buy come with adjustment screws on the back. Mine did not and I ended up having to source them separately.

Like that a lot. Looks pretty deer proof. Is there room to stand behind the grill guard and the truck?

Hard to beat their prices. Did you have to have it delivered?

Did the install go smoothly?

Did you use Jack stands, engine hoist?

I gotta get one of these bumpers!

Me and a friend held it up to the truck while another went under and put the bolts in. Was a easy install but the sucker is heavy lol. honestly the hardest part was moving the tow hooks over to the bumper.

Be interested to know if you see any change in MPG. Had a ranch hand on and F150 and mileage actually got better.
