Updated October 2026. Fit facts come from each maker's own pages and install guides; quotes are exact.
Say "Bronco" at a truck meet and 3 people turn around. One drives a 1995 that is older than his kids. One drives a 2024 with a winch on the nose. One drives a Bronco Sport. Same badge on all 3, and not one steel bumper swaps between them.
So first, find your Bronco below. On a 2021-2026, check 3 things in your driveway first: adaptive cruise, the skid plate under the nose and the front camera.

2021-2026 Bronco: 3 Things to Check in Your Driveway
- Adaptive cruise? If a button on your steering wheel sets the distance to the car ahead, you have it. Pick a bumper from the table below that keeps it, and have a shop recalibrate the radar after the install.
- Plastic skid plate under the nose? Get down and look. If it's plastic, the Fab Fours Premium, Stubby and Grumper need Fab Fours' steel skid plate, and ADD's Krawler needs the plastic one modified or ADD's own plate.
- 360-degree camera? Its front lens sits in the grille, and most listings don't say whether it keeps a clear view. Warn does: on its Elite, the grille tube and a winch control box standing on the winch block it. Have the camera? Ask us before you order. On a 2024-2026 it comes with adaptive cruise, so check 1 applies too.
The radar for adaptive cruise sits behind the middle of the lower grille, Ford's owner's manual says, right where a steel bumper goes. Here is how each front bumper handles it:
| Front bumper we carry | Keeps adaptive cruise? | Winch mount? |
|---|---|---|
|
TrailFX winch bumper 2021-2024 |
✓Yes | ✓Yes |
|
Fab Fours Grumper 2021-2024 |
✓Yes | ✓Yes |
|
Steelcraft Fortis 2021-2026 |
✓Yes | –No |
|
Fab Fours Vengeance 2021-2025 |
✓+ bracket | –No |
|
Fab Fours Matrix, Premium, Stubby 2021-2025 |
✓+ bracket | ✓Yes |
|
Addictive Desert Designs (ADD) 2021-2026 |
✓+ bracket | ✓2 models |
|
Warn Elite 2021-2026 |
✕No | ✓Yes |
A plain Yes means the radar brackets come in the box. + bracket means it keeps the cruise with one more part, sold separately, like the Vengeance radar bracket. Tell us when you order, and we add it. The Warn Elite doesn't keep adaptive cruise, per Warn's own spec. On ADD, only the Rock Fighter and Krawler list a winch mount.
The years under each name are what its listing covers, and the Fab Fours skid plate is listed up to 2024. Newer Bronco than that? Ask us first.
Every bumper in the table that keeps adaptive cruise moves the radar, so don't skip the recalibration. A Raptor owner on BroncoRaptor.com did, and his cruise started braking for cars in the next lane. His words: "I just found out that whenever that front sensor is moved, it has to be recalibrated."

Winch or parking sensors? Most winch bumper listings name the winches that fit, so check yours there or ask us. On the Matrix, the winch control box has to move too, and ADD's Rock Fighter needs a different fairlead, the rope guide, for a Warn winch. Front parking sensors stay wherever a listing mentions them, except on the Fab Fours Stubby, built for more tire room with no sensor holes.
Bronco Raptor: Only a Bumper Built for the Raptor

Got a 2022-2026 Raptor? Regular Bronco bumpers are out. Yours needs one built for the Raptor. Ford sets its front wheels 8.2 inches farther apart than on a Base, Big Bend or Badlands, and gives it its own fenders and flares. Fab Fours marks its regular Matrix "Not compatible with Bronco Raptor". ADD marks its Raptor Rock Fighter "Bronco Raptor Only - This will not fit the Standard Bronco".
The Raptor bumpers here are ADD's Bomber, Phantom and Rock Fighter, plus Fab Fours' Raptor Vengeance and Raptor Matrix. Every 2024-2026 Raptor leaves Ford with adaptive cruise and steel skid plates, so check 3 things on the listing:
- Cruise: the Fab Fours Raptor Vengeance keeps it ("Allows for ACC"). ADD's Raptor bumpers keep it with ADD's radar bracket and a recalibration after. The Raptor Matrix doesn't.
- Skid plate: Ford's skid plate won't fit under ADD's Raptor Bomber or Rock Fighter, so ask us to add ADD's skid plate. The Phantom comes with one.
- Years: ADD lists 2022-2026 and Fab Fours 2022-2025, so on a 2026 Raptor, ask us first.
1992-1996 Bronco: New Steel for the Last of the Originals
Ranch Hand's Legend front bumper on a 1992-1996 Bronco: diamond plate and steel tubes that wrap both headlights.
Yes, a 1992-1996 Bronco can still wear a brand-new steel bumper. Its front end matches the F150 and F250 of the same years. So Ranch Hand builds its Legend front bumper for "1992-1996 Ford F150/F250/Bronco", with a 2-inch hitch receiver up front.
Hammerhead's Bronco front bumper comes in 3 styles, from a plain Low Profile to a full guard over the grille, all with a winch mount. First, a question: does your Bronco have leaf springs up front, stacked steel strips instead of coils? Hammerhead asks those owners to call before ordering, because those trucks need different mounts. Tell us, and we check the mounts with Hammerhead.
Out back, the Hammerhead rear bumper fits every Bronco from 1987 to 1996. Got a 1987-1991? Only the rear fits. An owner on BroncoZone explains why. A 1980-1991 Bronco bolts its front bumper into the ends of the frame. A 1992-1996 hangs it on brackets inside the frame rails.
Shop Bumpers for Your Bronco
1992-1996, 2021-2026 or Raptor, we carry steel for both ends of your Bronco. Not sure it fits? Ask us any weekday.

Bronco Bumper Questions
Will a Bronco bumper fit a Bronco Sport?
No. The Bronco Sport has no separate frame, Ford calls it a unibody, so a bumper built for the Bronco's frame does not fit it. Every bumper in this post is for the full-size Bronco.
Do the 2-door and the 4-door take the same front bumper?
Yes. Ford's spec sheet puts the 4-door's extra 15.7 inches between the wheels, so the nose is the same, and the listings cover both.
