Do any bolt on bumpers actually increase approach angle?

[Mille_ed]

After battling it out with Ford warranty on my gt350, I'm not ready to mess with the intercooler relocation of a frame cut bumper. Don't get me started on the Magnuson act.

Do any bolt on bumpers actually increase approach angle? Just going for more clearance and don't care about looks.

The ICON increases approach angle but won’t be near as much as the frame cut bumpers. I just ordered the ICON last night.

ADD pro bolt on does, I have it and like it. Also allows the tire to contact the rock before the bumper.

Does the SVC Baja bolt on increase approach angle? Thanks

Pretty much any of these bolt on options will improve angles slightly, however; they won’t be as good as a frame cut.

i just did an ADD pro bolt on and it definitely increased approach angle slightly. its fine for a weekend warrior but definitely not enough for someone looking to go do some serious trails for sure.

I’ve had the frame cut bumper on for about 1.5 years now, taken the truck to do some warranty work on the motor a few times with no issues. I highly recommend the frame cut. I had a bolt on bumper on my last gen2, took it out to Pismo and smashed the bumper/intercooler/etc LOL
