I am looking at adding front and rear bumpers / brush guard the moment I pick up my truck from the dealer. Leaning towards a Ranch Hand Midnight setup. Thoughts? Others that are built to take a hit? 5DC6CEE0-C539-478B-9C3C-1964F39A79CA.jpeg 957D8DBE-1B09-4C6D-8C66-CC12F4EDAB37.jpeg

Pictures of the bumper / guard do nothing for me. For me, I need to see what it looks like on the truck. I have seen other bumper / grille guard combos that look great off the truck, but look hideous when bolted on.

In your case, I think it looks great.

I have the ranch hand midnight bumper installed on my truck. Great looking bumper, however... I have had it on the truck for 2 months and I already have rust popping up on it. Currently trying to get a hold of ranch hand to see if I can get it covered under warranty. I also have a body armor 4x4 rear bumper which is rusting out horribly... Same deal, trying to get it covered by warranty.

They look amazing on the truck... Do yourself a favor and get linex to coat them before you put them on. I wish I would have done that, as I am looking to have linex coat them now.

How did the ride change comparing it to factory bumper versus ranch hand bumpers?
Did you just keep using factory suspension setup?

I have a 2” mopar lift, I noticed that the truck sat slightly lower, nothing crazy however.

Also, to add on to my previous post… both ranch hand and body armor 4x4 stood behind their bumpers and replaced the bumpers completely! Ranch hands customer service was phenomenal. I have since had both bumper coated by linex and have had no problems.

Also, I got into a small accident this year, and the ranch hand bumper is built to take a hit. My truck had zero damage thanks to the bumper. I’ll have one on every truck I have going forward.
