[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3138405, member: 15054"] Dad had a spare tire mounted to the front of his 1980 chevy 3/4 ton truck and hit a deer at 65 MPH while pulling a little 15 foot bayliner. The bayliner jackknifed but not far enough to bend anything. Deer hit the tire and went into the bar ditch. Dad got control of the vehicle and only damage was a cracked blinker lens. I know old thread. I put 3" channel iron behind my Ford bumper on my 82 E150. and mounted a grill guard and then mounted a spare tire to that right in the middle. The rim was the chrome Nugget style. You know the style with holes all the way around. My MPG actually increased 2 MPG. But the ford is a strange animal. I jacked up my ford 3" also. And the 3/4 ton was not sitting low either. Those were home built deals and bolted and welded together.. no chance of movement. I would push cars with the E150 no problems. [/QUOTE]
