2009 Ford F-250 Off-Road Rear Bumpers

I ordered this 08 F250 bumper to modify and install on a 2000 Excursion. Upon first impression, the welds and powder coating wasn't the greatest. There were bubbles in the welds and pieces of welding wire left and powdered over. The step hole in the side ware way to small for my foot and the coating flaked off as soon as I put my foot in. I had the bumper sand blasted back to bare metal, zinc coated and then painted to match the truck. I added on some D-Ring Shackles and better backup lights. It came with Opt 7 Oval LED backup lights, but I installed stop tail turns instead. I don't have factory backup sensors, but my cheap aftermarket system fit perfectly. I didn't like the old style license plate lights because in order to get a good ground, they need to contact bare metal, which will lead to rust. I bought a set of screw on LED license plate lights instead and they covered the holes perfectly. In order to make it fir the Excursion, I had to cut about 6 inches off of the mounting bracket and drill new holes. All in all it seems to be a nice setup.
