Deer will definitely think twice about jumping out in front of that.

Them deer won't stand a chance now.

Looks great! Any idea on impact to ride height with the added weight on the front end?

That’s a great solution for the front, but what do you do when a deer runs into the side of your truck like one did to mine last July and KO’s your drivers door and running board? DAM DEER!!!

I already had a 2 inch leveling kit before I got the Ranch hand and thought it might drop it some but if it did it's unnoticeable to me.

What happens when they run into the side? Your insurance company shells out $3000 to replace the front fender and repair the driver's door. Here's a collision with a nice 8pt. Buck with my '19 Platinum during my hunting trip in northern Michigan a couple of years ago. The front wheel actually took the brunt of the collision, and his body and rack swung around to the side. Note can see the outline of the body on the side of the truck. When I turned around and saw it laying on the side of the road with its tongue out flailing around on the shoulder, I pulled past it and backed up to it thinking I would eventually be loading it in the back of my truck. Took me a while to fumble around in my center console to find a knife to finish it off. When I got out of the truck and walked to the back to finish him off, it was GONE. All this and I didn't even get to get some venison out of the deal.

Note the outline of deer's body, even the tail

head hit front tire and body and rack swung around to dent front fender and door.

My niece had one jump off an embankment landing partially on the hood and partially on the windshield....thankfully she was ok.....but yeah a ranch hand would have done little for her too......
