Clackamas, OR (11/2/2015) — The WARN Ascent™ Bumper gives truck owners a low-profile aftermarket bumper option that not only blends fit and function, but makes installing a winch easier than ever.
Designed to fit popular full-size Ford, Chevy and Dodge trucks, the new Ascent Bumper also fits something else very well indeed: WARN winches. These unique bumpers come fully winch ready, with a winch plate that accepts most of the legendary WARN mid-frame winches up to 12,000 lb. capacity, including WARN ZEON® Platinum™. Quick access cutouts make it easy to mount winches even after the bumper is in place.
Of course the Ascent Bumper was designed to look great, but these bumpers are also extremely functional. When it’s time for work or play, truck enthusiasts will appreciate the built in high-performance features. For example, integrated eyelets for D-shackles (sold separately) are right up front and ready to go. Constructed of 11-gauge steel with a durable textured black powder coat finish, these bumpers are built to withstand the elements. The angled contour, coupled with the low-profile design, ensures good tire clearance and the enhanced approach angles needed to optimize off-road performance.
When it comes to integrating style and functionality, there’s nothing else like the WARN Ascent Bumper. Not even close.
Key features:
Angled design sits high, to maintain maximum ground clearance and approach angles
Winch ready—accepts most WARN mid-frame (foot-down) winches up to 12,000 pounds: ZEON and ZEON Platinum, 9.5cti, 9.5 xp, XD9000i, XD9000, M8000, and VR winches.
