Ranch Hand Front

For those of you that have done a full front replacement bumper, did the added extra weight make any differences on your truck? I have a leveled F350 and am wanting to do a full replacement. Thanks.

Not only did I have the full bumper replacement, but I had the winch option and a Warn Powerplant Winch + On Board Air system integrated. It did not make it sit any lower or change the height of the front end.

Check your front spring rate gawr.

If it is the base spring it could cause an issue but I would try it first. They also offer a heavy service spring.

On my f250 with the Ford lowest spring rate, I ended up sagging about 3/4" after 6 month or so. I also have dual batteries too, gasser 6.2.

I am not worried, planning on a PMF spring spacer of 1.5" with their adjustable track bar, dual PMF steering stabilizer, and new Bilst shocks all the way around. I like the softer feel of the ford springs, but sure do hate those stock shocks.

If you have any spring rate above the lowest from Ford, you should be fine.

No it will not change anything.

Smoothed out the plow package springs beautifully with zero sag to date.

Ps...don't be "that guy", get the matching rear bumper or it looks ridiculous IMO
