Sensor and safety system compatibility
The bar has integrated D-ring mounts and sensor holes, and Fab Fours state it accommodates the OE front camera. They note minor camera interference with the Pre-Runner Guard fitted, so if you rely on the front camera the No Guard is the version to buy. Frontal protection is a regulated fitment in Australia and Fab Fours build to US standards. NXG make no compliance claim of our own.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it weigh?
Approximately 52kg by Fab Fours' own figure. That is a real number to plan around, because it hangs ahead of the front axle and a winch adds another 20kg or so on top. Factor both into your front spring choice if the truck is already carrying weight up front.
Will it fit a 2021 or later Raptor?
No. The Gen 3 Raptor from 2021 has a different front end to the 2017-2020 Gen 2. Fab Fours make a separate Matrix bumper for it, part number FR21-X5351-1, which we list under the 2021-2023 Raptor.
How much tyre clearance does it give back?
Fab Fours state the Matrix provides far more tyre clearance than the factory bumper, which is the reason Raptor owners running larger than factory tyres go looking for it. Tell us your tyre size and we will talk through what else you may need.
Can I run it with a body lift?
No. Fab Fours state the bar is not suitable with a body lift, because a lift moves the body relative to the chassis mounts the bumper bolts to. A suspension lift is a different question, so tell us what the truck is running.
