I remember the conversation about the bumpers a while back. And where the 
concern was with the intention of using a large slide in camper AND the 
heavy bumper possibly exceeding the FAWR (Front Axle Weight Rating) of 
the truck. I forget who expressed the concern maybe Tom L?? Anyway With 
just the raptor and no slide in over hang to deal with, I see no reason 
for concern with a "Buck Stop" bumper or what ever manufacturer you 
choose Nate.
