None of my trucks have had then and the 5 or 6 F350 F450 trucks of these years at work do not either.

Do any of you have them ??

According to my aftermarket parts manual they go out further in front of tires .

I know I'm putting extra plate in middle of bumper when i put it back on .

My truck doesnt have this. But using a longer bolt and four old sockets you can space the bumper further out about 1", and does the same as those spacers.

I have seen those plates, they go outside of the mounts. None of mine had em, all you need is 2 of the smaller ones, with the adjusters. You can fab up your own inner supports to help with any future run ins with deer.

These go toward the outer edges of the bumpers.

These bolt to the bumper then to the frame.

I figured . I was wondering if anyone had seen them .

I'm planing on getting the chrome turbo bumper From FOrd for $310 and have new mount brackets already .

I can get generic for $120 + less. Considering my luck with deer may do that.

The second one is for 92-96 gen trucks mounts the bumper to the piece (bracket) welded to the frame. Using the insulated rubber back studs (weird huh)

When i hit the deer all those years back. it ripped out the holes for the brakets, but using the wear spot left by them, i welded my bracket brace things back on to the bumper

All truck of mine were bolted solid. After 93 had solid plate with studs .

my 96, in you salty area the rubber insulator that the studs where actaully mounted in where probably weathered into the damn welded on bracket on the rame. which bolted up to the "reinforcemetns" on the bumper. and the 'reinforcement" is bolted to the bumper with some of those little clip things.

Yea I just use 1/2 SS or grade 8 bolts, drill the holes out, them little 5/16 bolts arnt strong enough for me lol

They held fine its the bumper flattening out up down . That did all my damage .

But I always put better bolts in.

I hit another deer this morning by the way . Glad new bumper was not on.

 

[emtzach]

might want to invest in them little whistler things lol. JK i heard they dont work

I haven't hit any deer in my truck. I want to think it is due to my loud exhaust and stereo, thats just my thinking anyway...
I haven't even come close to hitting a deer honestly...
In my old car i did though, it bo duke'd across my hood landed on its feet and kept running...

The deer are so bad, I put a cattle guard on most of my trucks.
