Winch bumper

I want to add a winch bumper on my 15 F350. I haven't chosen which one I want yet. I'm looking for opinions and options. Pictures will help.

Thanks

I had a Warn on my '03 that I had trouble with, Warn would not do anything to correct the problem. I replaced it with an Iron Cross bumper 100% better quality than the Warn.

I just put a Buckstop Outback on my 2012 F250. Very pleased with it. I wanted something that would protect the front end in case of an animal strike, and this will clearly do that. I put a Superduty 12,000 lb. winch on it. I also like the built in 2" receiver hitch. Plenty of pictures on the Buckstop web site:

Any idea how heavy that one is? Their site doesn't seem to give that info.

I'd guess easily 200lbs if not closer to 300. They build some solid bumpers.

Buckstop mentions the weight on the FEATURES page as being approximately 190 lbs more than the stock bumper. And depending on whether you go for steel or synthetic line, the winch may add another 100 lbs

Thanks guys. I like the new smooth series from ranch hand but it's not a winch bumper. Lots of options out there
