Truck Bumpers

[dylanvb]

I have a 2017 F350 that I have been driving around with a damaged front bumper due to me miscalculating a U turn and spearing my fog light/bumper on a post lol. Looking for a good upgrade. Would love a slot for a winch for the future. What you guys recommend?

Dang, its build a bumper on the website which I like. Can design and pick what you do and don't want. Thank you for this recommendation. I think I have seen these on the road just could never figure out who they were made by.

We've used Ranch Hand bumpers for our trucks for around 15 years now. Good quality and the best fitment I've seen.

https://reunel.com/ has been my go-to for some time.

You guys running a leveling kit with these? How's the airflow for the intercooler on the Diesels? I've been looking for awhile have not quite found the one with low mount winch and good airflow. Suggestions? would like to keep the parking sensors too.

I like coastaloffroad.com if you can weld. But just checked they dont have one that works for your truck

We’ve hauled HEAVY with the ranch hands. Zero issues with AC condensor, trans cooler, radiator, and intercoolers. Model years 1998 oldest to 2024 newest, with several model years in between.

No winches on our hauling trucks though, just the jeeps and tacomas.

What winch bumper you using on the tacoma?

I’ve only ever used Warne winches on my flat deck trailers and off road vehicles, appropriately rated is key and synthetic line over steel cable.

I have a Paramount bumper on my truck , hides the winch , $900 .

Whats your bumper of choice for the taco?

I'm a big fan of ARB bumpers, and not at all a fan of Dobinson's.

I'm still hanging on to my steel cable. I could see tossing some synthetic in the tool box for when a guy needed an extra length though.

I snapped a steel line dragging an excavator up onto one of my flat beds. Will never go back.

I need a bumper and winch for this new rig we just got.

New Bead Grip Wheels/35’s and an Evo Adventure Smart Cap are already on the way for it.

My wife decided to give it its first desert pin striping and gave the stock 33s a run today on the way to the river.

We agree on a lot of things, but you need to ditch that shit.

I bought a Road Armor bumper for my F150 Ecoboost which also has the intercooler mounted low. There is a generous cutout for airflow and a nice enough powdercoated grate for stone protection down there.
I chose the Road Armor Vaquero because I really didn't like the look of diamond plate and the fit was best contoured to the nose of the truck.
I didn't want that aardvark look of a giant piece of steel sticking out.
I did the install in my driveway and it went well...You do need to cut some frame mounts out of the way and a Sawzall and angle grinder was put to use.
Overall great product.
I already had Eibach front springs so the extra weight wasn't a concern.
I don't think the front sagged at all after the install.

Is anyone having to use stiffer springs with the added weight of these bumpers?
