What are you guys using for Super Duty bumpers?

[Bullsnake]

Good afternoon everyone!

I am currently driving an '08 Ford F250 Super Duty, and am going to be trading into an '11 F 350 SD here in the next few months. I am curious as to what you guys are using for front and rear bumpers? I would like something on the front that I can integrate a winch into, and if I can improve approach angles and clearance any that would be great. I did a search, but couldn't come up with anything specific, so I thought I would throw this out there and see what people had for suggestions.

I had a GREAT front bumper built by a company called Safari Gard (If you're into Land Rovers you've probably heard of them), but they have since gone belly up, again.

Thanks!

Ranch Hand for a long time. SUPER strong, very good protection. Now using a Warn winch bumper.

Just picked up a winch ready at the expo yesterday. Did alot of research prior to laying out my cash, and I couldn't find a nicer product. Not just design wise but look behind them. Full penetration welds, tow hooks integrated into the actual framework. Great quality product. Not to mention the people that own the company, stand up good folks.

P.S. and all that for less $$$ than thier competitors.

Check out thier line up for your ride winchready.com
or better yet call them 530-222-5005

Had a $G on my '99 SD, and just got my second Ranch Hand for the '11 SD. Best value I think...

Wow!

Thanks for all of the responses everyone! I knew that there had to be alternatives to the ARB stuff-not that it's bad, but there is more than one way to skin a cat:sombrero:

Now off to do a little homework...

I just put on a tough country bumper. I have had it all of 2 weeks but it is very well built and the price was good. I got the Apache, didn't seem so huge.

I've got a Buck stop on my Dodge also, great bumpers, you will need to trade in the Furd for a good truck.

Here is a Warn on a 02

Edit: A 2002 Ford with 05 grill and 07 Warn bumper. Also the Ranch hand full bumper was about 275. I think this Warn is about #275 as well.

Aluminess makes a nice product. I just toured their factory recently. Layne@ Denver Offroad makes a very stout unit also. Aluminum can be constructed to be very effective without simulating the effect of 2-3 guy's weight strapped to your frontend.

ps. the winchready I mentioned previously is on my dodge also. but they did have a sweet one at the expo I was eyeballing for my f250 but its my old 2-wd worktruck and couldnt justify getting one for both.
