I am trying to get some reco's on a front bull bar that is easy to install and won't mess with the sensors. Looking at a few bully bars but the choices seem to be very, very limited. Everything says "fits 2018 F-150 - excluding Raptor". I figured there would be a lot out there for choices. Either I am looking in the wrong places or the choices are slim.

Any help is much appreciated.

I’ve not seen anyone with a bull bar on a Raptor. On road or online.

I wonder why not. So many deer and antelope get hit around here, I thought it sounded like a good idea. I'd prefer to have the bar take the brunt of the damage then the front end of my girl.

Maybe the bumper doesn’t provide good mounting points. Maybe the skid plate blocks access to where others mount on regular F150s? I imagine you could make some modifications if you just found a regular one and took a look.

I've seen one where you remove the tow hooks and it attaches there. It just looked like shit lol.

You'd be better off with a steal bumper for protection mine has a bar on it to protect the vitals

Thanks man . . . do you have a pic? Where did you get your bumper and do all of your sensors still work fine?
