To bumper or not to bumper?

Road Armor and Trail Ready both claim on their websites to have EcoBoost compatible bumpers.
The Trail Ready has a large rectangular hole in the top center to give access to winch controls -- should you ever add a winch.
One of the issues with getting a bumper for the EcoBoost that can mount a winch is that the Intercooler takes up some of the space that the winch occupies in non-EcoBoost trucks. So maybe the EcoBoost compatible bumpers stick out more to provide room for a winch...?

I have a ranch hand on my truck and love it. 10 deer hits and counting. No damage at all. I like the diamond plate. Matches my tool box. But that's just me lol. I work my trucks hard so I kinda like the mix of work truck and style. Buck stop makes some pretty badass bumpers too. Check them out.

I've been thinking about this exact same setup. I really like the bull nose.
BTW, there is a company in Houston that sells these on ebay for a fairly good price, and they will buy your old bumper back.
