Reviews: Smittybilt M1 Front Bumpers

Bought this bumper to make my truck stand out and now it does way out . People stop and look all the time love it now it time for the back m1 bumper

This is a great product, looks awesome on my 2010 f-250. The smittybilt wench fits and will come in handy as well. The bumper is rock solid. I was worried that it would be low qaulity due to the price. I am very glad that I didn't waste money on one of the more expensive bumpers.

Bumper is well made thick gage metal. The finish has a shine or a sparkle to it really like that. The light kit is well made wiring and connectors also light up the road better than my headlights. I wish I had better communication with 4WP as I didn't know when the bumper was coming in . Overall a well made product and I would recommend it highly

Overbuilt and well priced. I have bought two of these. One for my truck and another for a friend.

Added both M1's front and rear to my 15 F350 with the new 15k winch up front. Everything mounted up easily and clean. Looks great n the truck, but did add some serious weight to the front! did have one issue with the finish on the front bumper about 5 months of owning it. Called down to ask about it and the next thing I know, have a freight delivery at my door of a new complete from bumper. Totally unexpected!! Loving the way everything looks and about to add some side steps and do away with the factory running boards.

I am very pleased with the bumper and great packaging on the product

Looks great, a bit tough to install but works great

Purchased both front and back bumpers due the price was in my budget. These are really nice for the price range and with lights. Front was easy to install with another person in my garage no lift. The instructions are in black and white so I got online for the color version and that helped. You will need to trim some brackets and reinstall ( not a big deal). Overall very happy with the look and the guys who helped me with questions in San Antonio.

Works, so far. Haven’t used my winch yet. And, being winter, I haven’t had a chance to go wheeling yet.

First off I had some trouble with the shipping, it was listed as tires with the freight company and they were unable to deliver it to my house because it was on a full size semi. Installing it was pretty straight forward but I recomend it being a two person job. Mounting the outer bumper to the winch tray was the most difficult part due to the position of the bolts. Overall I am happy with this bumper, great price, solid mounting both to frame and for winch and shackles, heavy steel construction and good paint.

Should have an in depth video to accompany the poor black and white installation instructions. Especially, for people with bad vision.

Bumper went together fairly easy. Pictures in instructions were terrible and hard to see. Very solid built bumper with a stout coating on it. Does have slotted holes for adjustment but still ended up with a bit of a gap along top of bumper most noticeable around side where it meets the fender. Overall it’s a great looking bumper and the light kit looks great too and was easy to install.

It would 5 stars if the d rings came with it and was clear what size winch would fit. Amazing quality though!

I had the bumper and winch for a few months now. 4 wheel parts got it on right the second time. My only gripe. But they got it gaped right. Hit a deer at 80mph. It moved the bumper a little bit. But bumper just has no dents nor my truck. There going to readjust bummer next week when I have the time. The winch works great. I get stuck farther in now. I got 4 d rings, towe strap, pully, tree saver in large hard pistols case. I don't have hope for help with bumper and winch.

A little more difficult to install than the rear, but still possible. Download the color instructions from online. The black and white instructions are hard to identify what you will need to cut.

good for the price need 2 people to get it mounted

I had this bumper put on my 2013 Ram 3500. I read a few reviews that said it was a pain to remove the factory bumper so I just had the guys at 4 Wheel Parts in Bakersfield Ca install it. After seeing what they went through, I'm glad I paid the install fee. I'm completely happy with the bumper although I'd like to see Smittybilt take a little more care with their packaging to ensure the bumper arrive blemish free. Mine had a spot worn through on one of the D-ring mounts. I fixed it with some bed liner from a spray can and you can't tell plus, it was simpler than having it traded out for another one. The overall quality of the bumper is excellent.

Bought the bumper for its solid build and different look. Took Four Wheel Parts an entire day to install (glad I had them do it). Driving light bulb went out in 1 month. Very difficult to access bolts that you need to remove to replace a low cost bulb....not good.

This is a very well designed bumper. My biggest complaint was with the instructions. They did not provided any helpful tips, and the pictures were very poor in quality. I had to drill all 8 mounting holes on the bumper just to line it up with the body. very disappointing!!

Easy to install, but had to notch the bumper to clear the Smitty built X20 15 K winch but no big deal, the lights were upgrade to 100w bulbs to increase thier use.Looks great and best Qualty for the price the two piece design makes for any eay one person install. Don't Forget to order the fairlead licne plate holder.
