Just buy the nastiest biggest heaviest looking ranch hand style steel bumper you can find and have it rhino lined lime green. Put some kind of zombie edition badge on it an boom...zombie bumper.
Maybe weld a bunch of 6" lengths of sharpened 1/2" steel rod to the front too.

How would it mess up your rear end? I can see with 35's if you drive reallly hard it would stress it, and anything bigger than that you'd probably need to swap out gears. But I can't see 33's being a problem. I almost put 34's on mine actually, but decided against it...glad I did because these already rub. Mines a 2wd though that may have something to do with it. And my V6 has a hard enough time pushing these tires, any bigger would really suck when I tried to mash the pedal. I have an 07 F150. That engine is too small for those trucks.

Truck did fine with the 33s and looked good also. The smaller tires just look funny on it.

Pretty sure that bumper is a ranch hand summit, as already mentioned. I ordered this one for my truck Friday. I didn't get the shackles.

Looks like your at maggio's.

Saw that truck at Maggios and liked the height of it. Kinda what I'm looking to do with mine

I disagree, because a body lift alone would still leave the factory rake. The back would be higher than the front. It looks level in that picture.

Pretty sire thats not a body lift. You would also see more frame, even with the nerf bars.

Leveling kit and nasty ranch hand bumper.
Those fords can clear some serious shoes with just a leveling kit. I have a 6" lift on my truck and my 33's rub

Get the Ranch Hand Legend series if you're gonna go that route. I have the front and rear on mine. Dodge 2500 - 2
Deer - 0
And not a scratch one

WTF am I doing wrong? I'm just gonna blame it on the 2wd
Posted on 3/21/12 at 6:01 am to lv2bowhntAU
I have a reunel on mine. Had to get 1 ton torsion bars to hold it up 
My rig would have been totaled in 96 if not for the bumper
Chevy z71-2
Dodge dakota-0
Astro van-0
Boats, its prolly tge 2wd. My buddy has a 2011 4x4 with a leveling kit and 34's and im pretty sure he could clear 35's no problem.
No need for it though since his gf doesnt let him come to the camp anymore

Leveling
Most of those bumpers come custom made out of Texas. Just look up heavy duty cow guards or something.

I've seen the truck I think. My understanding was that the newer model can fit bigger tires with a leveling kit than the 04-08 but I'm not sure.
I'm just gonna drive this thing til it dies and get something 4x4
