I just put on my leveling kit and tires. Really looking at front and rear bumpers. I’ve hade ranch hand before and like them but open to all. Also my truck is a rattler so it comes with dual exhaust from the factory. I do t know if that matters. Looking for opinions and anyone with pics of their own?

I really looked at Thunderstruck, but the availability is tough around here, they make a strong unit, lots of brush fire trucks seem to run them.

I had been looking into the cheaper barricade brand, ADD and similar but seeing several old beat up oilfield trucks bashing gates with these things everyday, it kinda sold me. My secondary concern was weight but with the Eibach suspension I don’t even know it’s on there.

I don’t have the rear on there yet, first time the trailer or a tree chews up the rear bumper that’s getting a Ranch hand also.

I'm trying to decide between the Ranch Hand Summit full bumper (what @Oilberta posted) and the Ranch Hand Summit Bullnose. Haven't been able to find any pics of the bullnose yet, as it has only been out for a couple of months.

@Oilberta what has been your experience with seeing the bumper when using the front camera (it looks like your bumper has the camera cut out)?

I’m with you on wanting to see a couple with the bull nose. One I recently found that I really like is by Goliath. It’s looks good and allows for a winch

The camera picks up a little darkness around the edges, not obtrusive in my opinion. I haven’t seen the bullnose before, wasn’t even on the website when I ordered mine, I think it would look awesome.

Best to me have been the Smittybilt ones that can be used to raise the truck with a hi-lift jack. I had one on my Toyota Tacoma which was a great off-road truck with its short wheelbase and ground clearance.

I prefer the tubular designs. Not many though that also has a winch location that doesn't look like crap.

IMO the new Ironman Apex series, both hooped and no-hoop versions, look the best. I am partial to the full hoop myself and plan on getting in once we are back in the states this fall.
