I had a westin's grill gaurd before and wouldn't waist my money on another one. They look good but that is about it. I would get something similar to the ranch hand. I tagged a deer a few months ago with mine, and had no damage to the grill gaurd.

I took out a large buck at 45-50mph with my RanchHand Grille Guard, buck was DOA and the grille guard looked like new outside of the chunks of hide from the buck.

It was very easy to install, you do have to remove the tow hooks and install the mounting brackets, which does require a goodly amount of loosening the bumper up. I used two floor jacks to lift it and keep it level/balanced while attaching it to the truck. Did the job by myself, took a couple hours, but then, I did have a few interruptions.

This is more of a bull bar, but I like it and it seems beefy enough for me. I've hit a concrete barrier going rather slowly and it didn't do a thing to it except for chip the paint.

I had to remove the front bumper to install the mounting brackets, They bolt to the tow hook mounts. Re-install the bumper mount the grill guard. My grill guard wasnt drilled for the tow hooks(Ranch Hand has some that are drilled just where my tow hooks are) so I drilled and mounted them up. Very sturdy, but I still want a full replacement.

Thanks, it has a leveling kit only, but I dont have the 37"s anymore.
