I want something that doesn't worsen approach angle if that's out there. Any leads?
 
If Lobo OffRoad would adapt their HnT product line for the Braptor, this would be the hands down best winch solution on the market. I’ve been working on Chris, but he has a lot of irons in the fire.

You should also look at BAMF.
 
Relentless Fabrication checks all the boxes for me.

I have the CBI bumper and I really like the looks and it didn't appear to change the approach.

As with almost all winch bumpers- you need to relocate the camera and Adaptive Cruise Control radar if you have it.

The Relentless Fabrication above only needs a camera relocation in order to work perfectly.
 
I'm joining this thread as I've made a short list for my use case - which mimics the OP need to minimize impact to approach angle - but I also want to maintain use of fog lights, to include the Raptor integration with the headlight switch for operation. I may also add additional lighting - but would still like the OEM fog light feature with an alternate bumper configuration.

Thoughts on any of these -

Fab Fours Matrix front bumper for the Raptor - https://www.fabfours.com/p-fab-fours-bumper-br22-x5752-1

Hefty Fabworks front bumper (I've confirmed compatible with Raptor) - https://heftyfab.com/collections/br...rd-bronco-front-bumper?variant=42644231192830

AAD Rock Fighter for Raptor (I've confirmed the Baja dual S2 mounts can be force fit into the side openings) - https://www.addictivedesertdesigns....ucts/6th-gen-bronco-front-bumper-rock-fighter

JCR Vanguard - https://www.jcroffroad.com/product/BR6FV.html

DV8 Spec - https://dv8offroad.com/products/bronco-raptor-winch-front-bumper-spec-series

I find lots of support for ADD, provided you want to spent the $$. DV8 appears to be newer to market, with a number favorable reviews. I can't find much on the Hefty Fabworks offering - but it checks a lot of my boxes and if I saw more of them being used/reviewed, would most likely be my top choice.

Are there others I'm missing?

You might take a look at Bay Area Metal Fab (BAMF). They don’t explicitly mention fitment for the BRaptor, but I’ve talked to the owner and he was sure their bumpers would work.

I’ve also been following Lobo Off-Road and their HNT product line, but they have yet to adapt it to the BRaptor.

I like the Fab Fours product you linked above - very tight to the body.

I would add Relentless Fabrication to this list. I love mine !!

as a data point - the stock bumper accommodates the Ford Performance winch (Warn Zeon 10S) setup without modifications even though Ford explicitly states in the fitment guide that the Raptor is not compatible. Camera & front sensor relocation is required tho.
