How to Choose a Bumper for Your 2005-2007 Ford F250/F350 Super Duty

What Fits Your 2005-2007 Ford F250/F350 Super Duty
Bumpers cover the facelifted first-gen Super Duty, 2005-2007. The 2005 refresh brought new grille and bumper styling, thicker frame rails, and a 24-valve 5.4L Triton. F250, F350, F450, and F550 share front-frame mounting; most SKUs cross the lineup.
Reverse Sensing System was a factory option this generation, common on Lariat trim. Front parking sensors were not equipped. Rear SKUs vary in sensor cutouts; verify each listing.
The 2005 fascia refresh broke compatibility with 1999-2004 pre-refresh trucks despite the shared platform. From 2008, the second-gen Super Duty uses a different chassis. From what we've seen on RMA returns, owners assume a 2004 truck takes a 2005-2007 bumper. It does not.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are 1999-2004 Ford F250/F350 bumpers interchangeable with 2005-2007 trucks?
No. The 2005 fascia refresh changed front-bumper mounting on Super Duty, despite the shared first-gen frame. A 1999-2004 front SKU does not bolt to 2005-2007 trucks. Rear bumpers share across the first-gen Super Duty; front bumpers do not.
Are factory tow hooks reusable with this 2005-2007 Ford F250/F350 Super Duty bumper?
Most aftermarket replacements integrate their own recovery points, replacing factory tow hook function. Steelcraft Fortis 71-11300HP includes D-ring shackle eyelets. Hammerhead 600-56-0425 welds shackle mounts to the frame surface. Fab Fours FS05-A1252-1 ships 1-inch D-ring mounts. Verify recovery hardware in each listing before ordering.
Will extra weight sag my 2005-2007 Ford F250/F350 Super Duty front end, and do I need a leveling kit?
Weight matters. Steelcraft Fortis 71-11300HP runs lighter than factory; Hammerhead 600-56-0425 sits at 122 lbs; Fab Fours Premium FS05-A1252-1 hits 386 lbs. Add a 16,500-lb winch and you stack another 100+ lbs forward. Owners running the Fab Fours Premium pair often add front coil spacers or a leveling kit.
