Body Armor brand bumper

Anyone have any experience with the Body Armor brand bumpers? I’m looking to get a new front bumper for my 2015 OR and came across one I like. I’m not a fan of the full wrap around bumpers and am looking for something so I can mount a winch.

thanks in advance

 

I have it. Raptor Line it before install, otherwise awesome and sleek. It fits 10k winch and harbor freight light bar easily. The welds are meh but the raptor liner really dresses it up for like 40 bucks (2 cans). You will get a half inch of sag in front end.

 

@Lenny Dykstradamus did you use aftermarket bumper supports (like the ones C4 Fab makes) with your bumper? I have one waiting go on the truck as soon as the weather breaks here in NY. I have a 22" light bar and a smittybilt X20 winch mounted to the bumper already.

 

Nope just installed as-is. I think unless you are winching a tractor trailer stuck in mud you are good to go.

Also sprayed some CRC inside on the creases. Staying clean so far. Something to think about.

Use a floor jack and a 2x6 to raise it into place. I can help you if you are near nyc.

 

I have it with a 12k apex love it

 

My BA rear bumper is holding up well !

 

how do you access the "free spool" switch on the side of the winch? never used a winch before but my understanding is you flip a switch so you can freely pull the line out and then flip it back when its time to winch

 

you just reach down with the hood open theres plenty of space between grill and radiator to get to it easily

…unless you are peter dinklage

 

Yep just like Lenny said. Lots of space in there. I will take a pic tomorrow.

 

I'm in Suffolk County, near Islip (South Shore). I'll be doing my lift, bumper and sliders whichever weekend I can get free and it's nice out!
