Bronco Forge has been so easy to contact. I've talked to them on a Saturday, texted, and called. They are very responsive and helpful.
Fitment & Sensor Notes
Fits all trims except Bronco Raptor. See our Raptor Spec Series Winch Bumper for Raptor fitment. Works with factory sensors, plugs included if not equipped. This bumper covers the stock front camera position, so we recommend pairing it with the ABBR-03 Camera Relocation Bracket to keep your full camera view. If your Bronco has adaptive cruise control, we recommend the ABBR-01 ACC Relocation Bracket so ACC keeps working like it did from the factory. Not compatible with factory fog lights.

Details
Will This Bumper Fit My Bronco?
The DV8 Spec Series Bronco front bumper adds a recessed winch mount, steel skid plate, and several auxiliary-light mounting positions. Manufacturer part number FBBR-05 fits 2021–2026 Ford Bronco two-door and four-door models, excluding Bronco Raptor. It replaces the factory front bumper on the full-size Bronco; it does not fit Bronco Sport.
For Raptor models, see the Raptor Spec Series front bumper. Fitment for a 2027 Bronco needs confirmation before ordering because DV8's current listing stops at 2026.
Who Is This Bumper Best For?
This Bronco winch bumper suits owners planning a trail build who also want skid protection and room for added lighting. Its low-profile shape is designed around front-end clearance for rock crawling. The recessed winch position keeps part of the winch within the bumper, while the tubular bull bar adds light brush protection around the winch and grille.
For your Bronco, the main benefit is the combination of features: winch mounting, a replacement skid plate, and light mounts in the center, wings, and bull bar. Consider which of those you will use when comparing it with a simpler bumper.
How Does the Winch Mount Work?
The recessed mount accommodates multiple winch sizes. Check your winch's dimensions and mounting requirements before ordering so the housing, controls, and line routing work with the bumper. A winch-ready bumper still needs a compatible winch and fairlead purchased separately.
Roller fairleads do not fit this bumper. For a steel-cable winch, DV8 recommends an iron or steel hawse fairlead. Select the fairlead for both the bumper opening and your winch line rather than transferring an existing roller setup.
Steel Construction and Skid Protection
The bumper combines steel plate and tubular steel with a micro-texture black powder-coat finish. A satin black mesh accent plate sits at the center. The textured bumper and contrasting mesh give the assembly a consistent finish around its lighting openings.
The included heavy-duty steel skid plate replaces your Bronco's stock skid and adds protection beneath the bumper. Welded-in zip-tie tabs give you places to secure accessory wiring. Plan your wire routing before installation so the harnesses stay clear of sharp edges and moving components.
Which Lights Fit This Bumper?
There are three mounting areas, each with its own light requirements. Choose lights for the specific location rather than using bar length alone to judge fit.
- Bull bar: Baja Designs S8 10-inch, Rigid SR 10-inch, or DV8 Elite 13-inch Single Row. The Elite 13-inch requires slide bracket BESLDBKTLG.
- Center bumper mount: Baja Designs S8 20-inch, Rigid SR 20-inch, or DV8 Elite 20-inch Single Row.
- Bumper wings: Two 3-inch light pods on each side, for four total.
The separate positions let you build your Bronco's trail-lighting layout around your driving needs. Auxiliary lights are sold separately, so include the lights and any required brackets in your installation plan.
Will My Bronco's Factory Sensors Still Work?
This front bumper retains your Bronco's factory parking sensors, and sensor-hole plugs are included for Broncos without them. Camera and adaptive cruise control equipment need separate attention.
Adaptive cruise control requires the separately sold ABBR-01 relocation mount. The bumper also obstructs the factory front camera. If your Bronco has a front camera, plan a compatible relocation solution to retain an unobstructed view. Check these requirements before fitting a winch or lights so the complete setup works together.
How Does This Bumper Install?
This Ford Bronco front bumper uses a bolt-on mounting arrangement. DV8 estimates roughly four hours for installation and calls for assistance when removing and installing the bumpers. Additional accessories and electronics relocation can add time to the job.
Read the FBBR-05 installation guide before starting. Check the hardware inventory, gather the listed tools, and decide when to install your winch and lighting. Have another person ready to help position the assembly while you align and start the mounting hardware.
What's Included?
The package includes the Spec Series front bumper, tubular bull bar, replacement steel skid plate, mounting hardware, and sensor-hole plugs. Refer to the installation guide for the detailed hardware inventory.
The winch, fairlead, auxiliary lights, and ACC relocation mount are separate purchases. Check the accessories in installed photos against this list when planning your build and budget.
What's the Warranty?
DV8 Offroad provides a one-year limited manufacturer warranty from the purchase date for defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage is subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms. Keep your purchase record and review those terms for the claim process, limitations, and exclusions.

Questions
With the integrated skid included, do I still need the standalone DV8 front skid plate?
The integrated skid covers the area directly below the bumper. The standalone DV8 front skid covers the steering rack and control arm pockets further back. Running both gives you full front protection with no gap between them.
Does the full-width design limit front wheel clearance during tight turns?
Sized to clear factory wheel and tire setups including Sasquatch. If you're running significantly wider tires on a lifted truck, use the live chat to confirm clearance before ordering.
I don't have a winch yet. Can I still use this bumper without one?
Yes. The winch cradle is there when you're ready. The bumper functions completely without a winch installed.
Does this bumper interfere with the Badlands sway bar disconnect operation?
No. The bumper installs above the sway bar disconnect mechanism and does not interfere with its operation.
Do factory fog lights carry over?
No. Factory fog lights are not retained with this bumper.
How does the winch rope exit and what fairlead type do I need?
The rope exits through the center hawse opening. Hawse fairlead for synthetic rope. Roller fairlead for steel cable. Using the wrong type damages your line.
How does approach angle compare to the Competition Series bumper?
The Competition Series has a lower profile and better approach angle. The Spec Series trades some approach angle for full-width coverage and more frontal protection. If approach angle is your top priority, look at the Competition Series.
After install, does the truck look significantly more aggressive than factory?
Yes. The Spec Series is a full-width steel winch bumper with a distinct trail look. It reads noticeably more aggressive than factory.
