Ranch Hand Summit Bumper

Hey everyone. I have a 2019 F250 Lariat Sport Ultimate and I have a couple of questions. I have purchased a full replacement bumper for the front and rear. The front bumper installed comes in at 288 pounds and I have the 5200lbs springs up front. Is there anything I need to do to the suspension when installing the bumper or will the added weight not matter? This is our first SD and first solid front axle truck. I considered leveling it but I honestly don't mind the current stance and we will be towing a car hauler in the future. Any advise or suggestions would be great. Thank you all so much in advance!

I don’t think it will make a bit of difference.

The truck could care a less, if it were a 1k bumper with winch you possibly would want the snow plow springs. You will be fine. Cj

It won't make a lick of difference. We installed a Road Armor Vaquero bumper on my brother's regular cab '21 with the same springs and the truck doesn't care. I have a Ranch Hand Legend on my '21 with 6000# springs and I don't notice any difference. I will say the 5200# springs ride FAR nicer than mine do.

It will lower it maybe 1/4-3/8” is my guess.

Obviously removing the airdam and misc hanging low will make up the ‘look’. Wouldn’t worry unless it causes the springs to bottom out.
