Ranch hand midnight rear bumper

[Oafy44]

Maybe I’m the first to try a new rear bumper …maybe not but anyway installed a ranch hand rear bumper. Not an exact fit as the ICE f-150- took the shop a few hours of modification but got it to work.
Tomorrow getting 285/66/r20 Nitto recons with a 2” level. Yes it will kill my range but I mostly do city driving all day.

I am more curious to see performance with that set up and see how the truck responds. If it’s still quick as can be with a more beefier stance I will be happy.
Had stock 275/60r20 recons for 17k miles without a level and did see about .1-.2 reduction so my guess is I will see more then .2 with this set up.

anyway just mostly wanted to relay the message about rear ranch hand bumpers not being an exact match as the ICE f-150 but will work with a competent shop installer.

Also I did see a cool brush guard not out yet where the middle fold down to access the frunk. They think 2nd quarter next year.

I only have 10 inches to spare when putting my truck in the garage. How much extra length do the ranch hand bumper guard and the brush guard add to a truck? And how much weight increase for each? I know nothing about how a brush guard affects aerodynamics so it would be great if someone in the know could chime in on that.

When I go to the shop tomorrow I’ll measure a stock lightning on site vs the new bumper

I did try to see if we could fit a ranch hand front brush guard and they couldn’t due to the opening of the frunk so my guess it will have to stick out at least 6” from front bumper.
