Best/cheapest front license plate setup for 2022 Tremor with factory Warn winch?

[Ceerix]

Hey guys,

I recently moved/registered from FL to SD that requires a front license plate on my 2022 F-250 Tremor with the factory WARN winch option.

Since the winch is fully recessed into the bumper, standard snap-on or fairlead-bolt brackets don't seem to work easily without spinning the backing nuts.

What's the cleanest, most budget-friendly way you've mounted your front plate without blocking the winch rope/hook or the remote plug? Any simple DIY ideas or specific bracket recommendations?

Thanks!

I’m leaning towards this one if i get hassled about it. https://www.rockhard4x4.com/product_p/rh-4004.htm

Thanks guys!

@RS90: Yeah, looks like LC3Z-17A385-BA is the way to go. Since I'm currently on the road, I'll likely just order it to my destination to avoid express shipping fees.

@BoonesRide22: That Rock Hard 4x4 bracket looks solid, but my main issue with fairlead-bolt mounted brackets is that my backing nuts spin in the bumper cavity when I try to loosen them. Did you have any trouble accessing the back of the fairlead bolts on your setup?

Additional information:
Unfortunately, the original factory winch license plate bracket (LC3Z-17A385-BA) that usually comes loose with the truck seems to be missing from mine.

Appreciate the help!

I havnt ordered that one yet. Very yes it will be a bit of a chore to loosen the bolts.
I read somewhere that a guy bent a wrench to get to the backside.

Swarfworks makes one that clamps to the tow hook. You might be ok if you don’t have ACC.

I don't know if the above part number applies to me or not, but I used the Ford factory F450 plate mount.
Sorry I don't have a better picture
