Ranchhand bumper front replacement
I was wondering if anyone here had a ranchand front replacement unit on their Excursion. I am thinking about putting one on my wife's 02 4x4, but I wondered what the loss in mileage would be (well, it's not too much of a concern as it does have the V-10 and mileage is crappy anyway) and if people had pics, were happy with them, etc. I like the idea of having that much more metal in front of the vehicle for added protection. What does the board think?
Ranch Hand's Legend Series Front Bumper Replacements provides maximum protection for your vehicle. The 15K winch option comes standard with a 1/4" formed channel bumper and holds up to a 16,500 lb Warn winch. Comes standard with 2" receiver, black powder coat finish. Options include hammertone finish, and rubber upright pads. Note: Adding a body lift to your vehicle will affect the fit of our product.

Yes, strength primarily. I tend to think that the Ranchhand bumpers are as strong as any (Schedule 40 pipe), and they are a lot cheaper than the Buckstop. I can get a Ranchhand Legend installed for about $1100. The Buckstop is $1800+.

I have the ranchhand legend, and love it I also have the rear bumper as well. One bad thing is I use to have it on a truck with a lift kit, traded it out to one with stock height. The added weight of the bumper makes thetruck sit pretty damn close to the bump stops. I am getting the springs recurved and adding a leaf to support the extra weight. As far as mpg is concerned not real sure had it was already on the first Ex when I got it and had it switched over to the other one before I brought it home.
