Bumper to Bumper
I was thinking about adding a Ranchhand and winch or other brand of bumper to my 14DRW truck......is that going to be ok with Ford? A friend who sells these said Ford is voiding some warranties because of these bumpers.......My truck has the heavy front end and it says on the window sticker "heavy front axle for added front bumper"

My son and I run full replacement Ranch Hands and have done so for three F250's. Never had an issue with Ford warranty. I probably will add them again to my new '15 F250 when it gets here. There are pictures of them in my FTE photo album.

right on the top of the radiator (i think) it says something like any aftermarket parts that cause damage may not be covered under warranty... i had a westin full front grille guard and a 3.5 lift and the service department thought it was cool looking. i think your safe but the thing i have realized with owning this truck is doing things that the dealership hasn't seen like mounting 35/12.50 on a 17in wheel, they told me no way they won't fit.. anyone with a drw that has done any google search can see that heck yes you can mount them to a stock wheel.. down south and such places this is common to do i would suggest talking to the actual person that might be fixing your truck in the event of a breakdown. people tend to get dumb about stuff that they haven't seen or never had a request to do before if that makes sense. but after all is said and done i don't see how a bumper and winch would cause harm to your vehicle. the northern pacific f350's that are servicing the railroad track crossing by my house have steel bumpers and those heavy a** train wheels mounted in the front and rear..
