DV8 Offroad Spec Series Front Bumper for Ford F-250/F-350

The DV8 Offroad Spec Series Front Bumper is a steel replacement front bumper for 2017–2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks (all trims) that sits tight to the factory body lines to maximize approach angles and clear oversized tires. Built from 3mm, 3.5mm, and 5mm steel plate with a micro-texture black powder coat finish, it integrates a 12,000 lb-rated winch mount, frame-mounted D-ring recovery points, a 20-inch center light bar mount, and four 3-inch pod light mounts into a single bolt-on assembly weighing 166 lb.

Low-Profile Build, Maximum Approach Angle

The Spec Series bumper is engineered to hug the F-250/F-350's factory body lines with minimal panel gaps, which keeps the front approach angle as open as possible when climbing steep terrain or clearing large rocks. That tight fitment also means the bumper does not push the truck's front end out beyond the factory profile, so oversized tires and wheels gain clearance without sacrificing the truck's geometry. The multi-gauge steel plate construction (3mm, 3.5mm, and 5mm depending on the panel) keeps weight in check while maintaining the structural rigidity a heavy-duty front bumper requires.

Recovery-Ready at the Frame

D-ring recovery points on the Spec Series bumper mount directly to the frame rather than to the bumper shell, which distributes recovery loads across the truck's chassis instead of concentrating stress at a single weld or bracket. The integrated winch mount accepts winches up to 12,000 lb with a maximum footprint of 24.25 inches long by 10.52 inches tall by 7.15 inches wide, covering the most common recovery winch sizes. Welded-in zip tie tabs run along the interior of the bumper so winch cables and lighting wiring can be routed cleanly and kept away from moving parts.

A Lighting Platform, Not Just a Bumper

The Spec Series bumper ships with a 20-inch center light bar mount and two 3-inch pod light mounts on each wing (four pod mounts total), so a full lighting setup can be installed without additional brackets or fabrication. For trucks that need even more output, the bumper accepts the DV8 Offroad Bull Bar (LBUN-01), which adds a 13-inch light bar mount, or the DV8 Offroad Spec Series Bull Bar (LBUN-02), which accommodates 20-inch single or dual-row bars, 13-inch and 10-inch lights, and pod-and-bar combinations. Note that the LBUN-02 is not compatible on vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The DV8 Offroad Spec Series Front Bumper suits 2017–2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 owners who want a low-profile steel bumper that integrates recovery hardware and a full lighting platform without adding bulk beyond the factory body line. It works with trucks equipped with factory parking sensors and, with the separately sold ABFF-02 ACC Relocation Bracket, with trucks equipped with adaptive cruise control.

This bumper does not retain factory fog lights. The front camera is not obstructed. The DV8 Offroad Spec Series Bull Bar (LBUN-02) is not compatible on vehicles with adaptive cruise control. The winch, lights, bull bar, and ACC Relocation Bracket are not included and are sold separately. Installation requires minor trimming of the inner fenders.

Common Questions

Will this bumper work with my truck's adaptive cruise control?

The Spec Series Front Bumper for 2017–2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 does not obstruct adaptive cruise control on its own, but trucks with ACC require the separately sold DV8 Offroad ACC Relocation Bracket (ABFF-02) to retain full ACC functionality after installation. Without that bracket, ACC-equipped trucks will lose cruise control operation.

Do the factory parking sensors carry over to this bumper?

Yes. The Spec Series Front Bumper is designed to retain factory parking sensors on F-250 and F-350 trucks that came equipped with them. For trucks that did not come with factory sensors, sensor plugs are included with the bumper so the openings are properly sealed.

What size winch fits the integrated mount?

The Spec Series bumper's winch mount accepts winches rated up to 12,000 lb with a maximum physical footprint of 24.25 inches long, 10.52 inches tall, and 7.15 inches wide. The winch itself is not included and must be purchased separately. Verify your winch's dimensions against these maximums before ordering.

Does installation require cutting or drilling into the truck's frame?

The Spec Series Front Bumper installs with a bolt-on process that does not require cutting or drilling into the frame. Minor trimming of the inner fenders is required. DV8 Offroad estimates the installation at approximately 4.5 hours, though actual time will vary based on experience and shop setup.

Will this bumper retain the factory fog lights?

No. The Spec Series Front Bumper for 2017–2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 does not retain the factory fog lights. The bumper includes a 20-inch center light bar mount and four 3-inch pod light mounts, two per wing, so aftermarket lighting can be installed in place of the factory fog light positions.

Which DV8 Offroad bull bars are compatible with this bumper?

The Spec Series Front Bumper accepts two DV8 Offroad bull bars. The Bull Bar (LBUN-01) adds a 13-inch light bar mount and is compatible on all fitments including ACC-equipped trucks. The Spec Series Bull Bar (LBUN-02) accommodates 20-inch single or dual-row light bars, 13-inch and 10-inch lights, and pod-and-bar combinations, but is not compatible on vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control. Both bull bars are sold separately.
