    Having a hell of a time finding trucks with aftermarket front bumpers without lifts...I plan to lift my truck but would like to swap my bumper possibly first. Curious if it looks odd and will drive me nuts..

    Generally people do them together because adding weight to the very front of the vehicle requires beefing up the front springs to keep it from sagging.

    Yeah, I just may have 6-8 months between doing both. So I was curious if I did my bumper first..looking at several like the Addictive OR Stealth. Seemed to not be a heavy load..49D68113-E27B-4A47-A736-5BEE8F36133E.jpg

    It’ll be fine. Do it as you can. But as @AzureNightmare points out, you’ll get some dip on the stock fronts.

    More if you have a winch. I’m winch-less.

    You can do it bit by bit, and ,unless you do something dumb to whip the front end up and down, you shouldn't hurt anything. Just know that you'll dip up front a bit, and anything like bouncing over speed bumps is going to be exaggerated.
