I really envy the F250,F350 because when it comes to bumpers they have many to choose from and they are Full front bumper replacements not just a wanna be. I knew that I wanted to get a winch with my vehicle and ranchand did not have that option(except for a clasIII receiver in front). This was something else I was considering due to its clean look.

They are also not very pricey at all. Getting the one I had took alot of A$$ ki$$ing to my wife, but she is very pleased as well. So were both happy.
Good luck.

Sorry for the late reply. I paid $2150.00 In payments. It takes a few weeks for them to make it for me but it is custom painted and installed.It is HEAVY DUTY. I know it is extremely expensive compared to the ranch hand, but I made payments here and there until I paid it off. I am much happier though with the look, than If I would have bought a ranch hand. I also wanted to have a winch since I almost got stuck with the family in the middle of nowhere in the Nevada back roads.Here is some more pics.
I have posted these pics on the winch thread. The front is heavy and I am trying to find some heavy duty coil springs. Not that I need them right now, but I am looking for them for my piece of mind. I also don't expect to see many people with this front end either and I kinda like that.

Road Armor or its sister company makes a very nice 'Raptor' bumper with 2 1/2 -inch guard tubes welded on. It's 2600 clams though, and more for installation. But, surely doing an R&R yourself on a bumper isn't rocket science, right? What was the weight of yours?

Ranch Hand Bumper
I just installed a Ranch hand bumper on my truck today(9-20-08). I had trouble finding photos of the summit bumper on a f150 last week so I am posting mine to help anyone looking at this bumper. I am very happy with it and recommend it. I bought it at Sam's Offroad in tulsa. It took me about 2 hours to install it. I will be adding the hidden reciever hitch soon.Please view my profile to see the photo album.I can e-mail larger photos if anyone needs a better view.
