Which front shackles are we actually getting?

[ATLBronco75]

There seems to be two versions of the front shackles floating around. Which one are we getting in production?

You're looking at two different bumpers... Standard and modular

Both!

But they won’t be body painted.

I love the ones on the right but I haven't seen anything on the Ford site that makes me think we'll be getting them. I think it'll be the ones on the left, but black.

The one on the left, (modular bumper) appears to have shackle mounts made into the tow hooks. If you look close it appears a 3/4 shackle could attach above the larger opening. or it could just have multiple holes for an unknown reason

As has been said, those are two different style of bumpers.

However, I have been wondering if these can actually be swapped out - almost like some sort of hitch receiver.

Seems like I saw a recent picture of the Warn winch on the Bronco and it looked like it was mounted on a bar attached in place of these shackle (with new shackles integrated into it). May have just been the camera angle. Trying to find the pic.

Edit: Here are the pics I saw:

Unless something changes when the B&P goes live, we will not be seeing the bumper on the CG in the photo. Unlike any of the bumpers on the existing trims, the one in the photo has both LED fog lights AND the hooks. Might be a one off. If they do sell it though I will definitely buy it.

As ugly as it is.. I may go factory route simply because I'm concerned with aftermarket and their ability to accommodate all the sensors and such.. (eventually but thinking it will take some time)
