Default Ranch Hand front bumpers

I am looking for some advice on this. I use my 07 3500 2 wheel drive for work. I haul cars all day long with a 53ft trailer. I want to know if I put a ranch hand bumper on the front of my truck, How much will this hurt my gas mileage and put wear and tear on my front end like tires and shocks?? Please chime in and let me know what everyone has experieced?

Default RE: Ranch Hand front bumpers

I lost some mileage with my Road Armor bumpers, due to lost of some aerodynamics. I believe the Road armor is somewhat lighter then the Ranch Hand, but it looks better and has four light pots and two niffty spots to hang clievis from . I haven't noticed any extra wear on the tires or front end (front end on a dodge.. weak to begin with [:@]) But the Road Armor is definitely heavier then stock bumpers.
