i plan on it as soon as i get em on! 'preciate the help guys!

 

Looks like your mind is set, if not another option is Reunel. They're rear bumper hitch is rated to tow 20,000 lb and if you have a winch the rating is 15,000 lb. I love mine. Good bumpers really set your truck apart from any other stocker!

 

those are sharp bumpers....like the stainless too....whats that setup run?

 

Those bumpers look so nice, that it should be almost a crime to scratch them. "Good looking truck too"

 

being stainless they prolly have a fairly high price tag...right or wrong?

 

My 97 with front ranchhand bumper.

 

Too high! If i was to do it again i'd have just gotten painted bumpers. Oh well i'm young and dumb with money.

 

dave miller, that looks sweet! cant wait till mine get here....idk when it will be though....waiting on my buddy to go to texas haha.......
i figured theyd be high and all being stainless...however they look good......

 

Thanks. You'll love yours when you get em.

 

I bought my 97 about 5 years ago on ebay from Texas with that ranchhand bumper on it. That bumper sold me on that truck. It is beefy and strong. Get lots of compliments and crazy stares from people....like they can't believe the size of it. All the trucks from Texas have bumpers like that I guess cause of the deer. I'd like to see what a deer hit would do.

I have heard of people having crashes and coming out with no damage to the truck due to the protection of the bumper. All my trucks will get one of these...expensive or not.

I think the bumper must scare the deer too cause we have lots up here in the mountains but I've never been close to one in this truck. Of course that noisy Cummins engine might have something to do with it...I love that rattle.

You will love your bumper.

ya now we can just aim FOR the deer i definitely can't wait to get them on....now i just need to get my friend gone to texas

 

How long until the bumper is built and ready for pick up?

 

i dont even know. a buddy ordered it for me when he ordered his, because he makes trips to texas a lot and said he was going to pick them up next time he went in the next few weeks.....so i dont really know haha but the wait doesn't bother me, just anxious! haha

 

Can't go wrong with Ranchhand.
The ones on the front and back of my truck are similar to theirs, just not as much $$. I wanted a Ranchhand rear, but they quit making the 10" drop for the 2nd gens (I had one on my '97). With the 10" drop, you can get the reverse lights put in. Forget what brand is on my back end. The brand on the front end is out of business after a flood.
