front bumper

I am thinking about putting a heavy bumper and cow catcher on the front end. Check it out at ranchhand.com Will it squash my front suspension too much? If so, is it possible to raise it back up cheaply like with taller coils? If so, what else will be envolved? I already replaced my rear bumper with a Ranch Hand. I am really impressed with their bumpers, and I would like to make the front end replacement bumper work. Thanks in advance

I would try the bumper and see what happens. If it does plant the front end, put in a set of air springs. They cost about a $100 and are simple to install. On my 95 F150 I can lift my 7.5 ft plow blade without the truck droping an inch with the bags at 40 psi. Without them it drops about 4 inches.
