Better question is will the BadSas bumpers fit the Braptor? Isn't the Braptor several inches wider than standard Bronco?
Yes, but the extra width comes from the fenders/quarter panels/flares and not the frame. The bumpers should bolt up but may be a bit tucked in depending on the style of bumper.

Agreed, they should bolt up but how much shorter will the wings be? The front may not look bad but I'm guessing the rear will not look great.

I agree with everything saying do what you like while you own it.

However when it comes to resale, everyone wants it stock or with the highest end aftermarket parts available. The reason being they could sell the used high end parts to buy OEM if they wanted.

Either keep the OEM parts and revert to stock on sale or buy the top end stuff.

The Raptor is wider due to the longer lower control arms according to the color coded frame that Ford displays. The blue sections are what Ford improved in the frame to make it stronger, while the yellow pieces shows the suspension upgrade.

Now the OP has to install the bumpers just to see if they fit or not. Inquiring minds want to know!

Wow really? I have seen zero change in reception. Although I don't know if the whip antenna on the bronco is fixed with SiriusXM? I don't listen to terrestrial radio, but have seen no difference with SXM.
Different antenna for Sirius.

Bought an ADD rear bumper for my Wildtrack, kept it when I sold the WT to buy the raptor. Anyone have a aftermarket bronco rear bumper on a braptor? The Braptor bumper from ADD is wider.

Interesting to see the differences. I was recently curious what it would take if someone upgraded their regular Bronco to Braptor look mostly just for aesthetics? Specifically, a 2dr with oem front bits and some of those aftermarket wider rear fenders.


The Raptor is wider due to the longer lower control arms according to the color coded frame that Ford displays. The blue sections are what Ford improved in the frame to make it stronger, while the yellow pieces shows the suspension upgrade.

I thought I saw something in the parts listings for bumpers a differentiation between Raptor/Widebody and Regular.
