Alright folks, all the body shops around me want over $1000 to change my front bumper and upper valance, so I've decided to go with an offroad bumper, what kind of bumper should I put? Preferably no brush guards, maybe prerunner lightbar on it? Give me some ideas! Thanks in advance

What kind of bumper were you looking at through the shop? Just factory replacement or aftermarket?

Aftermarket, but it was the same as factory just not a ford motor company product

Oh ok. Would you consider a ranch hand? I think it'd look pretty good on yours!

Which ranch hand? I was looking at the regular ranch hand summit series base bumper the other day and it looked pretty cool

Yup, you can actually do the work yourself it's not difficult. I think the most difficult part of the whole process when we put them on my friends was wiring up the reverse lights.

Yeah I put the full brush guard ranch hand on my boss's dodge and it was pretty easy install, did it by myself with the help of a chain hoist lol

I think the summit is the only ones they make for our model f150. I may be wrong. It's a good looking bumper though I'd do it! Would you get just a bumper or with the built in brush guard too?
