Grille guard
What are you F-450 guys running for grille guards? I had a Ranch Hand Legend installed on my 2022, but it’s very out of spec and has to come off.
I’d replace it with another, but Ranch Hand, their distributor, and the shop that put it on can’t get the exchange figured out. At this point I’m $814 plus tax for the grill guard and shipping, $150 plus tax for the install, now $150 for the removal and another $150 for install of the new one and I have to front the cost of the new one during this process too.
This is leaving me not very eager to deal with another Ranch Hand product if this is how they work, so I need some other ideas. I know options are limited with the camera in the center of the grille on the newer trucks, or I’d go with the Warn Transformer.
Thanks in advance.

There is a Texas-based manufacturer called Frontier that makes some nice looking grill guards comparable to the Ranch Hand. I believe some of the company's employees came from Ranch Hand after that company moved some operations to Mexico. I have always used Ranch Hand and my local Ford dealership, which is only 10 miles from Frontier's factory, told me they did not have a very good working relationship with Frontier (they would have to buy x-number of grille guards and they would have to be through a middleman in Dallas some 300 miles away) so I stayed with Ranch Hand when I bought my 21 f250.

I really like it. I had a weighsafe 2.5” for my 250 but tried this one for a 3”. I think I like it better than the weighsafe
