Ranch Hand bumpers ?
Anyone know approx. what one of these behemoths weighs? I put mine back on this week-end and had to move it from one side of the garage to the other, and I think I dropped a nut LOL! I used a come-a-long with a strap over the joists in the pole barn to hoist it up enough to bolt it back on, but wow is that sucker heavy!

Has to be shipped motor carrier, so it must be heavy. 
Question, does it block air flow to the coolers and did you do anything to beef up the front shocks or front end?
Add diesel engine and cow catcher, plow package comes into mind.

I don't think it blocks much, I removed the screen in frnt of the rad since I didn't like the looks of it. The truck does have dual front shocks, and I just put new f. springs in last summer. The bottom of the bumper is slightly higher than the trans cooler. I only have the factory water temp gauge. I'll let you know when I drive it on a hotter day if the tranny goes above 155-160 which is where it usually runs. Definately a heavy duty bumper, sorry to hear about your accident Bevis. Hope everyone was OK.( including your truck!)

Took a ride in a helicopter to hospital. He had to be cut from his car. I hit him at the bottom of the window and it just pushed everything inward on him, speed was at ab out 40mph.
