Bumpers to house a winch

I ran across a really good deal on a warn winch so I scooped it up. What experiences do y'all have with an aftermarket bumper that will house said winch?
I'm not a fan of the road armors with "road armor" cut into the bumper but I was told that you could order them without them.
The bumper that I get must be paint matched to my bottom color paint.

I always had the best luck having a local fab shop make them for me.
When I got out of college, my older cousin came to my shop and said: These are the first things you do:
1) Take that stupid bumper off your truck, and get a real one welded on
2) Get the best set of jumper cables the co-op can order for you. If they don't cost $50, you don't want them.
3) Get a Hi Lift Jack
4) Take your spare tire out from under the truck, and put it in the back, where you can get to it.
Now, you're ready to work on a farm

You just got a f250, right?
2016 or 2017?
If 2017, you might need to wait a bit for designs to come out. If 16, I am putting a Warn Trans4mer on mine soon. Stock bumper and 15k winch. Only 200 added lbs.

KR can you get a front receiver hitch? I've considered getting one for my Tacoma instead of a hidden winch bumper.

I like the look of the Smittybilt.

Check out hammerhead armor.

Can a winch mount on an F-150 bull bar?

Yeah, a new 2016. I must be looking at the wrong warn transformer. Those look like shite unless you are talking about a different one. Link me the one you are getting.

Check out Hard Notched Customs. They will work with you on design and details and they make a damn good replacement bumper. Got a tan one to match bottom on my F-150

I put a Ranch Hand and Warn 12000 on my old Denali HD after one of my employees tore up the front end with a Bobcat. They have some nice looking bumpers and different styles to choose from.

Rlc fabrication builds all of my bumpers. They are works of art

The one I had a was a Reunel. Highly recommended.
Damn thing was indestructible but the truck had to get one ton torsion bars out of a diesel to hold it up. Used to regularly have it butted up against a tree pulling the shite out of something.

I'm considering a Supercraft made in West Monroe. Old school look with expanded metal brush guard. The few I've had my hands on are well built. Looks similar to Ivy Redding's "Defender". I've got an 03 though.

Get a ranch hand like I had on my old truck. THAT is a bumper.
