Iron Bull Defender 4 bumper

[scoot33]

View attachment 125496 Received my Iron Bull Defender 4 bumper and installed it with a little minor tweaking. Looks good and fit good. I’d say it was an easy install. Now to find some lights...

Bumper and powder coat looks great! Not a fan of the bars on top of the bumper, but everyone cant be a fan of something. I suggest a smittybilt H20 12k waterproof winch with synthetic line and wireless remote for $650. Had one on my jeep for 3 years and used it every other weekend. Best winch for the money.

How much droop is there on the front when it's installed

I never thought to measure before and after. Sorry. It doesn’t look significant to me though.

With some inexpensive lights

About $22 / pair

$25 / pair

I did a little messing with the brackets but for the price, they’ll work for now.

Thanks @HemiPower36 and @scoot33! Loving my Iron Bulls. May have to go with the Laramie-type fender flares. My Bushwhackers don't fit anymore due to the bumper right under the headlight. Bummer.

That looks awesome socal! You gonna be selling your bushwhackers? Too bad they dont fit with the bumper

I think I have to. If I try and trim them, it will leave an air gap and I think it will whistle, flap and look like ****. Lol. Selling the bumpers and hitch too.

Glad I can help and glad it all worked out for you!

I wonder if they make a bumper that will work with our fender flares

Sadly, I am in the same boat. The bumper sticks out. I have toyed with the bumper flares you showed and even modified 2500 series flares. Neither worked. Right now, I am going without and it is working for me.

Ever thought about line-x'ing the flares to match the bumper?

I few different angles.

Yeah @HemiPower36 and I compared notes. I have a -24 offset and run 37" tires. The bumper weight + the winch I have still have me close to rubbing in the back at full turn. Even with a 6" lift and 6112 Bilsteins set at 2.2. I am first getting the truck cranked to 2.6 (max setting on the 6112s) and seeing if flares are problematic. Meanwhile, they collect dust in the garage.

Nice man. Us big dudes love the short girls lol I feel if she can't stand under my mirror she ain't short enough for me

Keep me updated on your findings tho. I really wish I would have gone -24 but the guy at discount tire talked me into -12 offset. I bought the same flares you have so I'm in same boat

@HemiPower36 did you cut your flares or did they stop at the light like that factory?

I am super tall and wife is 5’2” lol.

Anywho, I had to cut my fender flares.



I might line X them down the road. Maybe.
