Ive only noticed a few aftermarket bumpers that accept winches (especially for the 450). And they’re PRICEY. Anyone do a simple winch mount on stock bumper?? I don’t like the look of that “hidden” winch where the bumper sticks out really far
I have a WARN 16.5k on the front of my 2017 King Ranch F-350 dually with the stock bumper non-hidden winch. Been raining here for the past couple days, I'll try and get a couple of photos in the morning for you.

pic please. I'd love a winch but don't want to change the bumper out.
I'm hoping that Torklift's engineers will figure it out for the 6.7L. The one they have now is a beast. 1,000 lb tongue weight.
I was just looking at the Torklift. I love the location of the receiver versus some of the other ones I've seen. 1,000lb tongue weight and 10,000lb pull strength seems to dwarf the competition. Unfortunately, shipping to Alaska almost doubles the cost.
Here are the photo's I promised, Pay no attention to the lighting. If you ever have to winch in the dark these come in handy.
BTW The truck is a 6.7 Diesel CCLWB Dually the hook and roller fairlead are behind the flip up ARMY front plate.

I have been looking for a winch mount/bumper for sometime and they all just looked to big, stuck out too far, etc. Then Fab Four release their Matrix bumper and I think it hits the spot.
Pros:
Thinnest winch bumper out there
More tire clearance
Lighting/pocket options
incorporates two ares for shackles
Cons:
Only can hold a 12K winch (personally wanted a 16.5 - but ****** blocks will help me overcome any issues with weight)
Sag - Heavier than stock bumper - when I had my stock bumper off it was about 85lb. This bumper without hoop will come in around 155-165lb (the add 85 more for the winch) so expecting ~.5" sag
Not cheap, MSRP is $2K I picked one up for a little over $1600 to my door
Winches are not cheap either but I've never owned a truck without one and they've saved my a$$ and others countless times
Its a newly released bumper, I actually just ordered it and they said 6-8 weeks out. I can update once it arrives and installed. I ordered the version without the pre-runner hoop
Very nice! That was my first choice but ended up getting the Luverne Journeyman HD front bumper. No one had one when I was buying and wanted something that could take a hit, deer, elk, etc.

i was all ready to buy ranchhand and found the hdx on eBay for $599, usually goes for $799-$899. Not sure why the place had it so cheap, I jumped all over it though.
I like the Westin HDX or Sportsman winch guard but the Ranch Hand "Sport Series" (winch ready) would be an awesome bumper replacement with guards. Also retains the factory tow hooks.
