Best Aftermarket Ford SuperDuty Truck Bumpers

Updated on Jul 24, 2024

A rugged, heavy-duty pickup deserves heavy-duty bumpers to match, and there are no harder-working trucks than the Ford F-Series lineup, especially the F-350 and F-250 SuperDuty models. These pickups are bred for the ranch or job site, featuring powerful drivetrains, heavy-duty chassis and suspension, and impressive payload/towing capacities, reaching nearly 24,000 pounds! 

If you’re looking to ditch the dinky, stamped steel bumpers installed from the factory, consider a heavy-duty aftermarket replacement from RealTruck! Aftermarket plate steel bumpers significantly outperform their factory counterparts, bolstering impact protection, aesthetics, and functionality. We offer the top styles, brands, and models, ensuring a product that suits your needs and expectations. 

Unsure which bumper is right for you? Then tune in! In this guide, our experts cover the top bumpers for the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, including all available styles and our leading products in each category.

SuperDuty Bumper Styles

We offer a wide selection of bumpers for the Ford SuperDuty pickups, including various unique styles. Each style features select differences that set it apart from the others and lend it toward a particular use; let’s dig deeper into each style we offer on RealTruck, as well as our top bumpers in each category.

Base

Base bumpers are simple, streamlined, and purpose-built, featuring a functional design without any additional guards or flashy styling. These bumpers typically feature a robust, fully welded, stamped steel body with mounting provisions for various accessories, including winches, auxiliary lights, and recovery shackles.

The BR11 is a heavy-duty, winch-compatible base bumper from the body armor experts at Go Rhino, offering exceptional styling, robust construction, and countless features. This bumper features a rigid ¼-inch mild steel body, significantly bolstering impact resistance and rigidity. The BR11 features integrated auxiliary light mounts, accepting an LED light bar and LED pods, a pre-drilled winch plate, and heavy-duty D-Ring shackle mounts. 

This bumper is as stylish as it is functional. The angular plate steel body offers a heavy-duty, utilitarian appearance, while the sleek black powder coat provides a stealthy aesthetic. However, this finish doesn’t just look great, it’s also durable. Powder coating resists scratches, chips, oil, chemicals, and UV exposure, ensuring a long-lasting finish. 

Go Rhino backs the BR11 Front Winch Bumper with the confidence of a limited lifetime material warranty and a 5-year finish warranty.

Bullnose

Bullnose bumpers are aesthetically similar to base bumpers; however, they feature an additional guard affixed to the bumper, styled after a bull bar. This single hoop adds impact protection to the bumper, ideal for off-road builds and overlanders. Or, if your SuperDuty spends time mowing down dense brush on a ranch or in the backwoods, a bullnose bumper may be the ideal choice for you!

Introducing the Summit Series Bullnose Front Bumper from Ranch Hand, a leading supplier of ranch-style front bumpers for pickups. Ranch Hand is renowned for its classic designs and superior build quality, and the Summit Series Bullnose Front Bumper is no exception! 

This bumper is manufactured from durable diamond plate steel, providing more rigidity than conventional flat steel. A tough, 12-gauge tubular steel bull bar protrudes from the top of the bumper, providing an additional layer of defense in a front-end collision. The entire bumper is treated in a gloss-black powder coating, defending the underlying steel against rust and corrosion for a long-lasting finish. 

The Ranch Hand Summit features various accessory mounts for added functionality, including mounting tabs for your SuperDuty’s factory fog lights, auxiliary light mounts, and provisions for your pickup’s factory tow hooks. 

Ranch Hand manufactured the Summit Series Bullnose Front Bumper right here in the USA, ensuring the utmost manufacturing pride and quality. Each bumper is backed by the confidence of a 1-year warranty, guarding against manufacturing and workmanship defects.

Features:

  • Durable diamond-plate steel construction

  • 12-gauge tubular steel bullbar

  • Gloss-black powder coat finish

  • Features pre-drilled light mounts for auxiliary lighting (sold separately)

  • Retain use of OEM fog lights and tow hooks on most applications

  • Simple bolt-on installation

  • Includes all necessary hardware and instructions

  • USA-made

  • Limited 1-year warranty

Grille Guard

Grille Guard bumpers, similar to bullnose bumpers, feature a similar construction to base bumpers; however, they feature an integrated grille guard for comprehensive front-end protection. This guard covers the entire front end, including the bumper, grille, headlights, and even the hood! This style is best suited for ranchers and those who regularly drive through dense brush and dimly-lit backroads.

Modular

Next up are modular bumpers; a cost-effective alternative to traditional base bumpers.

This multi-piece construction allows for quicker, more affordable shipping, getting the bumper to your doorstep in less time and for less money!

Expert’s Choice: Westin Pro-Mod Front Bumper

The Pro-Mod Front Bumper is a premium, modular bumper from Westin featuring a lightweight yet sturdy design. The bumper ships in several pieces, including a heavy-duty 10-gauge center section and outer wings. The modular design allows for quick, cost-effective shipping methods and a lower overall cost. 

Each bumper receives a premium, dual-layer finish consisting of an impact-resistant powder coat atop a corrosion-resistant E-Coat. The Westin Pro-Mod accepts most 30-inch LED light bars; optional steel skid plates bolster front-end protection. 

Westin backs the Pro-Mod Front Bumper with the confidence of a limited 3-year warranty against manufacturing and workmanship defects.

Prerunner

Prerunner bumpers, like grille guard and bullnose bumpers, pull inspiration from base bumpers. While they share a similar body design, prerunner bumpers come fitted with a wide, low-profile, tubular prerunner guard inspired by high-speed desert racing, popularized in the dry landscapes of Southern California.

The Red Steel Pre-Runner Front Bumper is a heavy-duty offering from Fab Fours, a company renowned for its quality and stylish bumper designs. The Red Steel Pre-Runner Bumper is no exception, sporting a sharp, angular plate steel body with a welded-on tubular guard. The entire bumper is finished in a matte black powder coating, protecting the underlying steel against rust and corrosion. 

The Fab Fours Red Steel Pre-Runner Front Bumper isn’t just protective; it’s also versatile! Unlike your SuperDuty’s factory bumper, this product features various accessory mounts, allowing you to bolt on a 12,000-pound winch, LED cubes, and heavy-duty D-Ring recovery shackles. 

This product is manufactured right here in the USA for the utmost quality. All Fab Fours bumpers are covered against structural damages for their lifetime; the powder coat finish is protected for a year.

Tube

Tube bumpers are, as the name suggests, constructed entirely from tubular steel for maximum strength and durability without adding unnecessary heft. While the compact design doesn’t typically allow for winches and other bulky accessories, most tubular bumpers are incredibly high-clearance and low-profile, bolstering tire and ground clearances. 

You can’t install a rugged front bumper without a matching rear, and the N-Fab RBS Textured Black Rear Bumper fits the bill! The main body of this rear bumper is manufactured from rigid .095-wall tubular steel, providing exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. For added durability, a 3/16-inch thick aluminum skid plate protects the center section of the rear bumper. The entire bumper is treated to a robust powder coating, with the steel body receiving a matte black color and the skid plate receiving a lustrous silver. 

The B-Fab RBS Texture Black Rear Bumper offers a simple bolt-on installation. Each N-Fab bumper is manufactured right here in the USA for superior manufacturing quality; the company has so much faith in its product that it backs each bumper with a limited lifetime structural and 5-year finish warranty.
