John, make sure you get the ranch hand before you leave the marines. Have two marines bench press it into place and two run bolts, call it PT for the morning!

John will tell you that would only take one marine to bench press a bumper...

Them ranch hand bumpers are smartly engineered made to sit right on top of the frame, so you don't have to hold them up to start the bolts. At least my front bumper is like this.

Some good recommendations thus far.

Those move bumpers look good but you have to miter your tubes to fit by their note. Also wonder what wall is on it?
Pete, I know good info when I see it.

ranch hand is what i put on my ford after hitting a deer. Talked to a few people before i got it since it was pricey and they said the cheaper ones will do plenty of damage to the truck themselves when you hit something that bends it into the radiator. I dont even think i have any paint chipped off my ranch hand and its been almost a decade since ive iinstalled it. Buy once cry once. Was also told they have the heaviest gauge metal of the brands that were options for my truck.

When I bought a new pickup I had the dealership transfer my bumper to my new pickup, planned that into negotiations. The 1500 price tag is now at 750.

Proline is a super heavy duty product designed for hitting livestock. I have their stuff on my American made trucks.


Family owned business in Prineville Oregon, if you order one ahead of time and are driving thru they will bolt it on while you wait, they treat you like a real human being as well.


Their prices are favorable, and their product would be a value at twice the price.

When you run down wild hogs because you have a hankering for some bacon, be sure to be armed and accurate. It’s just that a man needs a little PT during trapping events.

I would recommend a Ranch hand. Been around the body shop business my whole life (live in the heart and sole of deer country), seen hundreds of brands of grill guards, Ranch hand seems to be one of the better (stouter) ones made. One of the most important things to do is once installed is to have a shop put a few short spot welds along the edge of the bracket/frame horn.The bolt holes in grill guards and their brackets are made slotted for adjustment. If you don't do this you can have the biggest toughest most expensive grill guard in the world and it will end up tipped up or down into the bottom edge of your fender when impacted. Also check the bolt grade that comes with the grill guard 90% will come from the factory with grade 5 bolts which are barely strong enough to hold the weight of the grill guard let alone take an impact or vibration.

More solid advice. Thank you, sir.
