    Some do, some don't. It all depends on the height of the bar.

    Just to check, you're just getting the bull bar for looks or small road debris, right? They will fuck your front end up with even the slightest of hits if you're expecting any sort of real protection.

    Even if it doesn’t they have a bad rap for serious increase in front end damage cost from minor bumps, caused by the fender bender now pushes in the grill and hood, not just the bumper cover.

    Honestly, spend the cash to replace the front bumper completely with some bolt on frame armor that has a bull bar welded on. Much for functionality, looks alot better than a Walmart add on and will virtually protect your truck from anything at your 12.
