I was driving the other day and watched a Nissan altima pull out in front of a f150 with ranchhand. THe f150 smacked into the nissan on the side of the trunk. nissan was pretty tore up. F150 was fine except for a scratch on under the headlight where the nissans metal had wrapped around the ranchhand. No dents on f150. Ranchhand was scratched also and the part that covers the headlight was a little tweaked. Not very noticeable

Ranchhands are awesome

you might also try to find some side pics of the bullnose bumpers. looking from front it looks good but we went to put one on a few years back and from the side or angle it did not look right.We went with a regular grill/brush guard.
Fab Four front replacements look great on that body style. not sure on their price.
Ranch Hands are pretty tough. That back bumper will save you if you get bumped from behind or back into something. They will not bend up as easy as factory. Just my $0.02

I agree with lifting before you put one on, esp a full replacement. I put on a full replacement front on my reg cab and it looked goofy so low to the ground... I leveled mine and put 33"s on and it doesn't look too too bad now, granted it does seem to stick out a lot... Check my album for some pics. Vie got som ebefore and afters.

I have the ranchhand grill guard on my truck and love it, but I am at stock height 4x4, I will be lifting soon will be selling my grill guard and was going to go with the full replacement but this being Texas everyone has them and they don't hold a winch so I will be going with the Fab Fours bumper with pre-runner bar. Will not be using those lights gonna go with the KC slimlights.

That's the one that I am going to go with eventually, or something very close to it. I'm looking at some slimline HID lights to put on it. At work we have a F350 with a plow, and HID's mounted on the cab guard and they are bright!
