front bumper replacement with sensors (ranchhand style)???

js1977 · May 11, 2017

Anyone know of a ranchhand style (not the crazy baja or thin metal style) front bumper replacement that allows factory front sensors to be used? I was going to purchase a ranchhand bumper but none of theirs support the factory front sensors. I've looked on multiple sites and saw a few, but would like some personal experience from actual owners. Thank you!

The truck is factory height and will retain factory wheels/tires (2017 Ram 2500 4x4)

According to Ranch Hand's site, most of their HD Ram bumpers do accept sensors. Might want to do a little more digging.

Thank you! What started this was when I went to a local shop that sold ranch-hand bumpers and the guy told me that they didn't make them yet for my truck and then a internet bumper store I looked at said the the ranch-hand bumper wasn't sensor ready. I'm a idiot for not going to their actual site.

I went to the ranch-hand website and used their dealer locater and found one in stock at a local store. Gets installed on Monday!
Thanks again!

Please post up pics once installed. Are you doing the rear bumper too?

Bumper superstore
I have been looking at the one made by Steelcraft.

Gets put on tomorrow, I'll be sure and post a pic once installed. I'm just getting the front bumper at this time.

Just got it installed, pictures are crappy but I love it!

*FYI*.... You may have to take your truck to the dealership to have the computer flashed to clear the parking sensor code after install (sometimes it throws a code when they disconnect for install to the new bumper). Shouldn't cost anything but we are talking about going to your local stealership.

Just an FYI, I had one of their brush/grill guards for my Ram 1500 several years ago....it was a POS. I'd never buy from them again just because of that product.

That looks great! If I lived outside of SoCal I'd definitely have one on my truck.

Since I posted this I am now eyeing the thunder struck front bumper. I tend to over research things before I buy. Like getting it right the first time.
