i am thinking about replacing my bumper mounted ranch hand with a full front end relacement. I am wondering how much it will weigh down the front end and the wear it will cause. i am running 35 inch meats. All comments will be greatly appriciated.

 

I had ranch hand front and rear replacements on my 98 4 door Yukon, and was worried about the exact same thing. I was running 35's also and measure from the tire up to the wheel well before and after I put the ranch hands on. The front was about 1 and 1/4 "down and the back was a little less than that. I would say that you should be fine with the weight, unless you off-road alot and absolutely need the extra inch of wheel travel.
