Addictive Desert Designs Stealth Fighter Winch Front Bumper for Ford F-150

The Addictive Desert Designs Stealth Fighter Winch Front Bumper is a steel bolt-on front bumper built for 2024 and newer Ford F-150 trucks. A heavy-duty winch mount, reinforced clevis mounts for soft shackles, and a multi-position light-bar system make this bumper a capable recovery and lighting platform. Integrated sensor cutouts keep the bumper compatible with both sensor-equipped and non-sensor F-150 models.

Radius Plate Steel Built to Sit Flush

The Stealth Fighter uses a radius plate steel design that follows the curved front edge of the 2024+ F-150 closely, keeping the bumper as flush to the truck as possible. A bumper that sits close to the factory line reduces the leverage forces on mounting points during off-road impacts and keeps approach angles from suffering more than necessary. The entire bumper is sandblasted before receiving a two-stage hammer black powder coat finish, with satin black powder-coated accent panels adding contrast. Sandblasting first, then powder coating, gives the coating a mechanical bond to bare steel rather than sitting on top of surface oxidation, which matters for a part that takes trail debris and road spray every time the truck moves.

Winch and Recovery Ready from the Factory Mount Points

The Stealth Fighter's winch mounting plate positions the winch between the frame rails rather than in front of them, preserving the bumper's low-profile appearance while keeping the winch load path direct to the frame. The winch plate mounts to the truck's own frame, not to the bumper shell, so recovery loads transfer to the strongest point on the vehicle. Reinforced clevis mounts are integrated into the bumper for soft shackle attachment, giving a dedicated, rated anchor point for snatch-strap and recovery-strap rigging without relying on improvised tie-down points.

Universal Light Mount System for Any Brand

The center mount accepts one 40-inch radius light bar or up to ten cube lights. The mount is designed specifically for a curved (radius) light bar, which matters because a straight bar in a radius-cut opening leaves gaps and requires custom brackets. Each side mount fits one 10-inch single-row light bar or one cube light, so the bumper can carry a full three-zone lighting setup. The system is described as universal, meaning it is not restricted to a single light brand. A shutter motor bracket is included in the box.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Stealth Fighter Winch Front Bumper suits 2024 and newer Ford F-150 owners, including sensor-equipped trucks, who want a steel bolt-on front bumper with integrated winch capability and a flexible light-bar mounting system for overlanding, trail recovery, or off-road driving. Trucks with the 3.5L engine are compatible when the High Mount Intercooler Upgrade Kit is also installed. Power Boost models are compatible after the pedestrian alert speaker is relocated. F-150s equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control require the Adaptive Cruise Control Relocation Bracket.

This bumper does not fit 2024+ Ford F-150 models with the 2.7L EcoBoost or Diesel engines. Adaptive cruise control functionality is not compatible with Platinum or King Ranch trim models, or with brush nickel finished grilles. The winch, lights, High Mount Intercooler Upgrade Kit, and Adaptive Cruise Control Relocation Bracket are not included and are sold separately.
