Hey guys,

i was wondering if anyone on here has actually bought the ADD lite bumper? I saw one thread where people were discussing it but it didnt appear that any of them had actually bought on before.

I am considering strongly the one with the loop for $854 (seen on other websites for that price) its $917 on ADD website.

Buy Dodge RAM 1500 ADD Lite Front Bumper

I was hoping someone had this so i could get some more pictures and see what it looks like. I love the tube design and its simple plus i can add a lightbar and square lights under the hoop. I have 20x12 with 33s on my truck and i plan to lift it 6" and add 35s or 37s on the 20x12s this spring. I want to see what it may look like at some more angels to see if its not enough coverage or if it looks bare up front... i love the ADD stealth bumper but im not dropping $2000 on a bumper. Ive also considered the NFAB bumper but people seem to say its made cheaply.

Not that I've seen.

I like the ADD designs but they're expensive.

I like the design alot too... i mean most of these custom aftermarket bumpers are between 1200-3000. I really like the ICI magnum front bumper too. its 1300 and has a prerunner hoop on it. Im just not sure i want to spend 1300 for a bumper.

BTW is your front bumper stock or aftermarket RZRMAN? I like taht you have the fog lights and added a lightbar under it... all the ones ive found online have the tow hook cut outs

That's just my stock express bumper. I just cutout a spot in the lower insert to fit the lightbar.

Found this shot. It seems to hide things better than the full bumper replacement. Now the only question is how will this look with my lift.... haha

i planned to buy these prior to lifting my truck... right now ive got the 33s on 20x12 rims so they stick out quite a bit. I almost wonder if these would look better with just 33's and no lift. or if they would look good with some bilsteins set to 1.8 and some 35s. or maybe a 4" lift and 35s. i do think that it could possibly be too much if its a 6" lift w/ 37s.

Hey guys, here are a few more I have. An employee of ours owns the white truck so if you want any particular pictures, I can run out to the parking lot & snap a few!

WOW i actually really really like that. what size tires is he running? does he have a lift? looks like hes maybe got 33s or 35s with a level?

also if its not too much to ask... can you get a side angle shot look at the headlight if that makes sense? a shot of the bumper where you can see the front and side of the shot.

also do you work for ADD? is there a forum discount?
