Anybody have a ranch hand or cattleman replacement front bumper? i really like the ranch hand but my concern is weather or not it has vent holes in the front for an ecoboost i know the cattleman is open there but i cant tell on the ranch hand also weather you can retain factory fogs on the cattleman pictures and experience with either are greatly appreciated!

Ranchhands are everywhere up here. I have never seen a cattleman. Did you check out their site or call them?

I know a full replacement is heavy. Personally I would not put one on a half ton.

I'm not trying to run down ranchhand. I would look at the welds real close then look at the warranty on the powder coating real close.

Frontier grille guard is what I have. The guy used to work at RH and started his own company. The powder coating is super thick. My buddy had a hell of a time sandblasting it off when we painted it. It had rust starting to form down at the brackets and from rock chips.

from what ive heard the 1/2 versions actually arent that heavy compared to the superduty size ones the ranch hand says its 212lbs

I have the ranch hand summit bullnose. It has mesh throughout the front where plenty of air can get through. I believe shipping weight was under 100lbs. I didn't notice any droop in the front when I put it on. I don't have a picture but I'll try to remember to get one and post it when I get back in town in a couple days.

Ranch hand is made to be used with the ecoboost, I would say it actually gets more air flow. I love mine and it's the first thing I do to a vehicle.

Be on the safe side 👍
