I'm thinking of putting a Ranchhand style front Bumper and winch on my 2011 350.......will I lose fuel mileage or have front end or tire problems....any input?

I have the RH Legend series bumper front and back. I did not see a noticable drop in mileage, have not seen any tire wear or front end issues either.

I installed Bilstien 5100 series shocks and a steering stabilizer before the bumper was put on.

As for the springs, I have the 5,200 lb rated springs and the bumper dropped the front 1/4 in. I have not had any issue with hitting the bump stops. I do plan to put the 6,000 lb factory snow plow spring on for added support.
