Addictive Desert Designs — American-Made Bumpers, Racks & Armor

Full-width covers the entire front end including the corners ahead of the tires, keeps the factory look, and gives you the best chance of keeping fog lights and parking sensors. Mid-width trims the corners back for clearance while keeping some coverage. Stubby covers only the frame rails, leaving the tires exposed — the most approach angle and tire clearance, but generally no fog lights, no corner protection, and reduced sensors. Our style guide above walks through all three.

On most truck applications, yes. ADD engineers around factory parking sensors and sells many bumpers in sensor and non-sensor versions, so the right part number matters. Stubby bumpers are the exception and generally delete them. Tell us how your truck is equipped and we will order the correct version.

The radar module sits behind the factory fascia, so an aftermarket bumper displaces it. ADD builds a dedicated relocation bracket for most adaptive-cruise-equipped trucks. It is sold separately and it is required rather than optional — if your truck has adaptive cruise, plan on it as part of the purchase. We will include it in your quote so it is not a surprise.

Usually. Most ADD bumpers replace the factory fog light locations with their own cube and light bar provisions, so plan your replacement lighting as part of the bumper. One exception is the Bronco Krawler, which has dedicated 4-inch fog cutouts. Also worth knowing: an off-road cube is not a legal fog lamp substitute in every state.

ADD builds to order, and the published lead time is typically several weeks rather than days — a small set of accessories and brackets ships from stock. We will confirm the current window for your exact part number before you order rather than after, and we will tell you if something is backordered.

Bumpers ship oversized freight on a pallet, not by parcel carrier, and the carrier will typically call to schedule delivery. Inspect the crate before you sign for it. Photograph any damage to the packaging or the product while the driver is there, note it on the delivery receipt, and contact us the same day — freight damage claims have a tight window, and documenting it at delivery is what makes the claim work. Call or text us at 888-466-8991 and we will take it from there.

No. ADD products are engineered as bolt-ons for a specific year, make, and model. A front bumper is typically a few hours with hand tools and a second set of hands — they are heavy and awkward more than they are complicated. Winches, lights, and sensor relocation add time. If you would rather have it installed, we can talk through what to expect at a shop.

Winch-ready ADD bumpers generally accept most winches up to 12,000 lb, but the mounting plate is often a separate kit, and winch and non-winch bumpers are usually different part numbers. There are also specific pairings worth knowing — for example, some WARN winches need a different fairlead on certain bumpers. Tell us which winch you are running or planning and we will confirm the whole combination.

Probably a little. A plate steel front bumper plus a winch adds meaningful weight over the front axle, and most trucks settle nose-down a bit afterward. A leveling kit or heavier front springs is a common follow-up, not a required one. Ask us what your specific combination usually does.

ADD covers defects in workmanship and materials for one year from the date of purchase, covering the product itself — not installation, labor, or freight, and not damage from collision, misuse, or improper installation. Claims need to be reported promptly after you find the problem, so inspect the product when it arrives. We will help you work the claim.

ADD is a premium brand and it is priced like one. What you are paying for is American plate steel cut, welded, and finished in ADD’s own facility, a bumper that bolts on with no fabrication and lines up the way a factory part does, primer under the powder coat so a scratch does not become rust, and lighting and recovery provisions engineered into the plate instead of drilled in afterward. Cheaper steel exists, and the gap shows up in exactly the places you look at every day — panel gaps, weld finish, hardware, and how the coating looks after two winters. The place to spend your effort is getting the right series, width, and part number, which is what we are here for.

Addictive Desert Designs sets advertised pricing for all of its authorized dealers, so you will see the same advertised price everywhere you shop this brand. What differs is who you buy it from — we confirm fitment against your build sheet before the order, list every bracket the install needs, and handle freight and any damage claim with you.
