How much does the weight of an effective guard that far forward alter the ride and handling in slippery conditions?

None in me experience. That being said, I splurged for the aluminum on my ram because the front end is weak anyway, and the 1/2 ton version of the ranch hands for my 1/2 tons because they are built lighter. I am not a huge fan of the ranch hands, as they rust pretty quick. But they offered a 1/2 ton model and after probably 4-5 deer or so between them now I’m not complaining.
I’ve no doubt hanging a homemade job welded up or a bigger commercial bumper in a 1/2 ton would have negative consequences at least in front end wear if not handling.
Added benefit if some [bleep] tourist break checks me or cuts me off I’m pretty confident I can fugk up their day.
