Putting my 2007 GMC Sierra to pasture....will be selling it soon.
Taking over my father in law's 2013 F150 King Ranch with 92K miles...I've probably driven 80% of those.

Y'all post up some pictures of your F150s with aftermarket bumpers or leveling/lifts. It looks like a grandpa truck so I'd like to improve my image a smidge, LOL.
The truck has new Michelin tires, so I won't be putting on ATs for at least another 70K miles. How would a Ranch Hand or winch type bumper look with street tires?

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

How would a Ranch Hand or winch type bumper look with street tires?

Worse than one with the “Carolina Lean”.

Take off the pawpaw steps, tint the windows, add a black, low profile toolbox.
And an ALDeer sticker, of course.

Ranch hands are hell on front ends and tires. Too much weight. Sell the street tires, level it and get some practical tires. Keep the “old man steps” to save the edges of your seats.

Leveled with 35s and a camper shell. Currently for sale. wink

And personally, I think it would look really bad with aftermarket bumpers and factory tires.

Here's my 2016 leveled 2" (Bilstein 5100's) on 285/75-18 Cooper AT3 XLT's. I think they come out to a 34.8" tire. I got about 30k on these tires so far and they look brand new. Truck has 102k on it.

Get rid of the running boards. If you need a step, get aftermarket ones. Level it and put some decent tires on it. You can sell those. That might help overcome the old man two tone paint job.

If you put a winch bumper on it, expect to lose fuel milage.

Good looking trucks, but not a spec of dirt on any of them.
If I knew how to post pictures, I’d show y’all what an F-150 is supposed to look like.

I'll say one thing, ya'll can't hide money. Any one of the trucks in this thread is worth more than all three of mine.
And you guys either bathe them real often or never get off the highway. Hell, I ain't even sure what color mine used to be.

I do wash mine. But, it is the only vehicle I have to drive and getting in and out of a muddy truck every day in a suit tends to get your suit dirty.

My father in law's truck stays pretty clean. He'll run it through the car wash every few weeks or pay the grandkids to wash it for some spending money.
My GMC hasn't been washed in probably a year. We've had enough rain to keep it clean enough.
