I am planning on purchasing a Ranch Hand front replacement bumper. My question is to those with stock suspension. How much, if at all, did it drop the front end?

My truck is a 2014 XLT SCREW 4x4

 

I have a Summit Bullnose and it didn't drop at all . That is measuring to the center of the wheel well on either side. I think the Ranch Hand is less than 100lbs shipping weight. My truck is a 2011 5.0 4x4

 

Good looking set up! I am looking at getting the summit series too ( not the bull nose, the full guard) I know they are one of the lighter replacements available, but I just wanted to make sure because I am not quite ready to install a leveling kit just yet. I wanted to wait until I got the bumper and my new tires on the truck to make sure how much, if any, I needed to bring the front end up.

 

I didn't put mine on, a body shop did(I hit a bear and insurance covered all but $50), but I helped a guy at work put his on his f250 and with two people it's pretty simple.

 

Look into whether or not they make the Horizon bumper for the f150 it looks a lot cleaner than the 1980s diamnond plate bumper.

 

The half ton ones aren't near as heavy as the 3/4 tons and one ton bumpers they make. I was able to pick mine up and put it on by myself and I am not that big of a guy. I put the brackets on first and set it on them. Then bolted it up

 

had one on my 07 and made zero height difference.

 

should get fabfour, they had a nondimond plate option that looks 10000x times better
