Replacement bumper or grill guard

I was wandering if anyone has a ranch hand replacement and if they had some pics. Didn't know if they were too heavy for a chevy front end or not. Maybe another brand also, thunderstruck.
Just trying to find something that looks good. If I get the Chevy i want to paint the grill gaurd and mirrors white to match the door handles.

here is the ranch hand grill guard, i think the grill guard looks alot better than the bumper replacement unless you have a good lift on your truck, they are very heavy duty and reliable.

I personally like tough country's full front replacement for the 08. They look real good.

I have a full frontend replacement on my 02' it has been there for 140k miles and I have not had to make any suspension or chassis repairs save one set of tie rod ends. By contrast my last pickup was an 01' Dodge 3500 (with a ranch hand front end replacement) which I used in the same manner as the chevy and sold with 235k miles on it and it was a great pickup but I had to replace the ball joints 4 times and I am not sure how many times I replaced the track bar before getting some lukes links. Moral of the story... I guarantee you won't have trouble with the Chevy frontend and the ranch hand even if you go with the whole replacement.
