Victory 4x4 “Strike” front bumper

I recently installed a steel bumper by Victory 4x4. It was roughly a 6-7 week lead time. No complaints there, this seems to be a fairly standard lead time, and they were accurate in their estimation.

Not a terribly difficult install. Did it by myself over the course of two evenings. It could have been a one-evening job, but wiring up lights and removing the bull bar the previous owner installed added extra time.

 

Looks GREAT--- I love the clearance it give you up front. I just took mine out to the family property in Oklahoma:



pumped to do back with full skids and rear HC from @WarFab Armor soon

 

I have been considering this bumper mostly because Victory makes aluminum front and rear bumpers.

 

I bought a steel one. It's pretty cool, but it's crooked. We've checked and double checked everything, and I had it inspected at a shop

 

Looks great. Love that approach angle

 

Morning. How’s the bumper treating you?Did you check/change your front cab/radiator mount bushings? In the picture I’m pointing at those bushings. I purchased this bumper but hesitant to install just yet because I want to put in new bushings, at least up front to straighten the cab back to factory spec. Thinking going with Energy Suspension.
On another note, did you cut back the driver and passenger side ends of the front of your frame?
