Ranch Hand vs Road Armor brush guard?

[Ice Cream Sammich]

Howdy all,
Trying to decide between these two grill guards. I do not want full bumpers due to trying to keep the weight down as much as possible. I had the Ranch Hand on a previous F250, but the Road Armor has me intreguied.

Is anyone running either of these brush guards? Does anyone have an opinion on either of these? They weigh about the same (100lbs) and are similar in cost.

Thanks

Ours weigh 200lbs, it's really NBD for these trucks though. They are so heavy to begin with another 125 (stock is about 75-80lbs) doesn't make much difference.

On mine I took before and after measurements from the wheel well. It was less than 1/4" and that's with a big heavy warn winch too.

Grill guards look goofy on these trucks. Just get a full bumper. Most full replacement bumpers weigh about 150-200 lbs heavier than stock.

On a truck that already weighs 8k, what difference is an extra 200 lbs.
