Also, I haven't noticed a drop in MPG, maybe 1 with the level, but I didn't level alot. I still have a slight rake. I don't pay much attention to MPG though.

Adkhunter, great looking truck! That looks like ranch hand, is it? Do you have any other pics? Sideview, dead-on view? Either way, if it ways more like 250, I am much more inclined to get it.

Thanks yall, I have been looking at the bumber mount cattleman if that helps. I'll stop hijacking the thread now.

adkhunter

Thanks and yes it's a ranch hand. Here's a few other pics for ya. And yes it does weigh closer to around 250. I'm not a body builder and I can lift it by myself so it's nothing to heavy.

adkhunter, that truck is strong! 4x4? Nice work either way.

adkhunter

Yeah it's 4x4 I don't believe in 2wd trucks. If you get a 2wd you might as well get a car!

So, did getting the front end replacement bumper impact your Ford factory warranty? How does this thing impact the airbags function?

adkhunter

Warranty is still good. My truck is in the shop right now since the front steering rack is busted and the service manager mentioned the bumper and he even said it wouldnt effect the warranty. As for the air bags I have no idea. There's no sensors to unplug when installing the ranch hand bumper so I'm guessing the sensors for the air bags are someplace else.

adkhunter, that truck looks great! What size tires are those and who makes them?

adkhunter

Thank you. Those tires are Toyo MTs 33x12.5-18. They have now worn out and I have replaced them with Hercules Durra Trac D/Ts. 275/70-18. They are .4 inches taller but about 2 inches narrower. They ride alot better than the Toyos did which may be due to the fact that they are 25 pounds lighter per tire. Either way they are great tires
