Best Aftermarket Bumpers for the Ford Bronco

Base bumpers feature a simple, streamlined design, typically consisting of a full-width, plate steel body without additional guards. These bumpers may or may not feature various accessory mounts, including LED light mounts, D-Ring shackle lugs, and a winch plate. Base bumpers are true to their title; they form the base body that several companies build upon to craft higher-end bumpers, like grille-guard bumpers, prerunner bumpers, and more! 

Addictive Desert Designs, or ADD, is a premium provider of sleek, low-profile, high-clearance aftermarket bumpers for trucks and SUVs, and the Bomber Front Bumper is no exception. This stylish plate-steel bumper perfectly flows with the contours of your Bronco’s front end, ensuring a tight fit and finish. This bumper comes in a sleek, hammer black powder coat finish for a stealthy aesthetic that’ll match any body color. 

While the ADD Bomber Bumper’s high-clearance design doesn’t leave room for a winch, it features various accessory provisions, including RIGID 360 or Baja Designs LP Series light mounts, dual 3-inch LED light mounts, and mounts for your factory tow hooks and parking sensors, if equipped.

Bullnose bumpers are highly similar to base bumpers; however, they feature an additional tubular guard affixed to the bumper’s body, reminiscent of a bull bar. These bumpers offer greater front impact protection than comparable base bumpers in exchange for bulkier aesthetics. Like base bumpers, bullnose bumpers typically include mounts for various accessories, including winches, LED lights, and recovery shackles.

The Steelcraft Fortis HD Bullnose Front Bumper is a premium aftermarket bumper offering rugged aesthetics, heavy-duty build quality, and unparalleled functionality thanks to its numerous accessory mounts. This bumper is manufactured entirely from durable 6-gauge steel for superior strength; up front, a welded-on tubular bull bar provides exceptional impact protection, guarding your Bronco’s front end against mild fender benders and trail bruises. 

If corrosion is a concern, don’t sweat! Steelcraft treats the Fortis HD with a premium textured matte black powder coat finish, guarding against rust-inducing chips and scratches.

Grille Guard bumpers, like bullnose bumpers, are essentially base bumpers with a welded-on guard; in this case, a full grille guard offering comprehensive front-end coverage, including the bumper, grille, headlights, and hood. 

Though relatively polarizing in the car community, Fab Fours’ Front Grumpers feature unmistakable styling and unbeatable front-end protection. This product is unlike any other bumper offering on the market, combining your Bronco’s grille and bumper into a single unit–hence the name “Grumper.” 

This product is manufactured from beefy 11-gauge steel with a sleek, black powder coat finish to guard against corrosion. It offers various accessory mounts, including a 12,000-pound winch mounting plate, provisions for two pairs of LED pods, D-Ring recovery shackle mounts, and pre-drilled holes for factory parking sensors.

Full-width bumpers refer to the style in which the bumper’s body stretches the entire width of the front end, rather than the narrow design of a stubby or mid-width bumper. Full-width bumpers typically feature more room for accessories than narrower widths, as well as more front-corner impact protection, making them ideal for daily-driven rigs. However, full-width bumpers may reduce tire clearances compared to mid-width and stubby bumpers.

The LoD Offroad Black Ops Full-Width Front Winch Bumper is a stylish, high-clearance plate steel bumper offering exceptional aesthetics and durability. This bumper is manufactured entirely from durable plate steel, ensuring maximum strength and impact resistance. The raw steel is treated with a premium 2-stage powder coat finish, guarding against rust-inducing chips and scratches.

Modular bumpers are aesthetically similar to base bumpers; however, instead of shipping in a single, full-welded piece, modular bumpers ship in multiple pieces for quicker and less expensive shipping. Modular bumpers typically come in three pieces, including a center section with integrated mounts, a driver’s wing, and a passenger wing.

The Pro-Mod Front Bumper is a premium, modular bumper from Westin, featuring a lightweight yet sturdy design. The bumper ships in several pieces, including a heavy-duty 10-gauge center section and outer wings. The modular design allows for quick, cost-effective shipping methods and a lower overall cost. 

Each bumper is finished in a premium, dual-layer finish consisting of an impact-resistant powder coat atop a corrosion-resistant E-Coat. The Westin Pro-Mod accepts most 30-inch LED light bars; optional steel skid plates bolster front-end protection.

Prerunner bumpers are similar to grille guard and bull bar bumpers, in the sense that they’re essentially a base bumper with some style of welded-on guard. Unlike the other two styles, prerunner bumpers feature a sporty prerunner guard inspired by Southern California desert racing culture.

The Havoc Offroad Steel Bender Front Bumper is a heavy-duty prerunner bumper for the Ford Bronco, offering rugged durability and styling to match! This bumper is constructed from heavy-duty, ⅛-inch thick plate steel for superior strength and durability. A tubular prerunner bar tacks on an additional layer of protection, guarding the grille against impacts on the trail or street.

Stubby front bumpers offer exceptional tire clearance due to their narrow, grille-width design. These bumpers are far narrower than their full-width counterparts, allowing clearance for oversized tires, even under full articulation! While these bumpers do improve clearance, they also minimize front-corner impact protection; depending on your Bronco’s use, this may or may not be a risk you’re willing to take.

The Fab Fours Stubby Front Winch Bumper offers maximum tire clearance and durability, featuring a narrow, “stubby” design and heavy-duty 7-gauge plate steel construction. This product comes fully welded for superior strength and offers an optional prerunner bar, bolstering impact resistance. 

If corrosion is a concern, don’t worry. The Fab Fours Stubby Front Winch Bumper comes finished in a two-stage black powder coat, guarding the underlying steel against rust-prone chips and scratches. Powder coating is also highly resistant to chemicals, oil, and UV exposure, providing a long-lasting finish.

Tire carrier bumpers feature an integrated, heavy-duty spare tire mount, often accommodating more weight and larger diameter tires than the factory-installed unit. Most tire carrier bumpers also include provisions for auxiliary lighting and D-Ring shackles, further adding to the bumper’s functionality.

The LoD Offroad Destroyer Tire Carrier is an add-on for the company's Destroyer Rear Bumper, bolstering the bumper’s functionality with a stout, plate steel carrier that can accommodate up to a 40-inch tall spare tire!

Lastly, we have tubular bumpers. This style is characterized by its use of tubular steel for the bumper’s primary construction rather than the characteristic plate steel body. Tubular bumpers are lightweight and durable, ideal for use on off-road build and wheelers.
