Unhappy Grill Guard!!!

Hey guys I need a little help. I was thinking about getting a grill guard for my truck. But I can't figure out to get the full replacement bumper or just the grill guard.

So is a 2wd 1500 ram stout enough to carry the full replacement???


Please help need to know!

Do they make a full replacement for a 1500? I haven't seen any, but we don't get as many part offerings up here. I'm going with a grille guard soon, as I couldn't imagine needing a full bumper replacement unless you are going off-roading often. I would be worried about the weight on the front and the rake it will cause. You would have to look into a level kit. The guard I'm considering is the HDX by Westin. It looks mean and provides full coverage for the grill which would help prevent damage to the rad.

I have the Ranch Hand grill guard. I know Ranch Hand also makes a full frontend replacement. I like Ranch Hand over westin, in looking at them at the time the westin felt light and cheap. Down in my neck of the woods/plains i got just the grill guard for protection from deer. My truck is 2009 4x4, i do have a bit of front end sag, but my truck is all stock.

Road Armor makes some really nice ones, big mean lookin suckers! They are a bit pricey and I'm sure they are pretty damn heavy. There is another Road "something" that makes 'em, can't remember the full name.
