It is the entry point into the A2 platform, engineered, assembled, and welded at Bodyguard's Texas facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is cut and folded from 3\/16 inch steel, bolted to 1\/4 inch frame mounts, with 3\/4 inch thick shackle mounts welded in where they count. A modular center skid panel, winch cutout, and light bar pocket are built into the design, so you can run the bumper clean today and add a winch or lighting later without swapping the whole unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlate-style steel construction\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth 3\/16 inch plate shell with 1\/4 inch frame mounts holds its shape under impact and pulls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinch-ready out of the box\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolt-on center skid houses a Warn winch when you are ready, no re-fab or cutting required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight bar and cube compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory pocket for a Rigid 30 inch E-series light bar and bolt-in fog buckets for Rigid surface mount cubes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean utilitarian look\u003c\/strong\u003e Bodyguard logo cutout, bolt-on license plate bracket, and stainless button-head bolts keep the front end tidy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSA built\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered, welded, and assembled in Texas, then shipped freight on an oversized pallet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/16 inch plate-style steel shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Mounts:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShackle Mounts:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4 inch thick, welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-stage black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinch Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolt-on center skid accepts Warn winches.

Plan on two people and a couple of hours, since the bumper weighs in around 265 to 275 lb and ships on a freight pallet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn trucks with the technology package running adaptive cruise control, such as 2017 to 2020 Ford Super Duty, 2017 to 2020 F-150, and 2017 to 2020 Raptor, the front sonar sensor reads through the expanded metal insert in most cases. Some trucks need a recalibration and a few need a dealer flash to fully reset the module. Ram Sport trucks with parking sensors require OEM park sensor bezels, and the A2 Base is not compatible with Dodge Ram Warlock edition trucks. Parking sensor function can be limited on trucks with less than six inches of lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBodyguard A2 Base front bumper shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch steel frame mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBolt-on center skid panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBolt-in fog light buckets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBolt-on license plate bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless button-head mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstall instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLighting, winches, and other accessories shown in product photos are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Bodyguard Bumpers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBodyguard Bumpers builds heavy-gauge steel bumpers in Texas, shipping direct from their manufacturing facility on oversized freight pallets.
