First off, that front end is bad*****.

On the other hand, I can't imagine that an extra 150 pounds or so on the front end could mess with the suspension, it just doesn't seem like enough weight.

 

the front end doesnt sag at all. the hood opens just like it did without the front end replacement on there. thanks for the responses guys. I really like the look of the truck and it will look even better after i jack it up and put some nice tires on it

 

Awesome looking front end! Very nice, congrats!

 

ugly as sin

only reason i would get that is if i had a Toyota (to cover the ugly front end)

 

to each his own but i didnt purchase this replacement for looks. in the past, these bumpers have saved my vehicle from deer, rocks and other road debris, and retard drivers. the replacement bumpers are so much more sturdy then thing gauge aluminum bull bars...

 

What company makes the best "ranch hand" bumbers? And do you need to upgrade your stock front shocks?

ABS makes one thats good for jeeps but dont know about full size pick ups

 

I agree 100% with the above comment. I've had too many deer encounters in the past and after spending as much as I did on this truck, I'd rather have a "Mad Max" bumper up front as future insurance against totaling my truck with Bambie's father!!! I'll be looking into purchasing one very soon!

 

Ranch Hand is their own company. Luckily for me since their based out of Texas, there was a wholesale warehouse near my home in Dallas so I placed a call with my friend there, and he had me in the next day to have it put on. check out ranchhand.com
