Building off of our extensively proven 15-18 Rebel Kit, we’re stoked to introduce the absolute best in hidden winch mount systems for your 2013-2018 RAM 1500. Our bracket kit integrates seamlessly behind your factory bumper enabling you to confidently take your 1500 further than Mopar ever dreamed.
WHAT WINCH SHOULD I CHOOSE?
We've hand picked two winches that work fantastic with our mount, and developed a suite of aftermarket upgrades for them that make using our kit safe, fun and easy.
-They're strong and wont weight down your suspension.
- Completely Waterproof (IP68)
-Equipped with Synthetic Line (safer, lighter, and easier to handle)
-Tons of pulling power in a compact package.
-Clockable clutch handle
- Relocatable Control Box
Our winch mounts are compatible with other medium body winches that use the same bolt pattern (10" x 4.5"). If you'd like to use another brand winch and are unsure if it will fit, pleasesend us a message.
CLUTCH RELOCATION KIT
Accessing the clutch handle on your hidden Smittybilt or Warn Winch has never been easier thanks to our Clutch Relocation Kit. This kit repositions the Winch Clutch Handle to the front of your bumper giving you rapid and safe access to the engage or disengage the clutch free-spool.
CONTROL BOX RELOCATION KIT
Another NEW option is our Control Box Relocation Kit. This kit relocates your Winch Control Box to your engine bay. This has multiple advantages. Firstly - this makes plugging in your winch controller very easy and safe. Simply pop your hood and plug it in. Secondly - the control box is the least waterproof and most likely part to cause your winch to fail. Moving it to the top of the engine bay keeps the contactors and electrical connections away from submersion in water, mud, and road grime. The kit contains a bolt on mount specific to your Warn or Smittybilt Winch, as well as proper cables that are color coded the same as factory for painless installation.
OH THAT'S NEAT EH
Our Integrated Winch Mount includes our Hook Anchor attachment. No longer worry about rattles and scratching the paint on your bumper by letting your winch hook dangle and flap around at the fairlead. Simply slid the hook over the Anchor, and tension the line. Securely mounted, and easily accessed.
FLIP UP LICENSE PLATE KIT
Your state or province requires a front license plate to stay legal? No problem! Add our Flip Up License Plate Kit! It bolts into the factory holes in your bumper and flips your license plate up and out of the way when you need to use your winch. This option should only be purchased if your vehicle is not equipped with parking sensors. If you do have parking sensors and wish to purchase this option, your parking sensors will need to be disabled.
TOW HOOK KIT
Our Mount ties into the factory tow hooks for added strength. No Factory tow hooks on your truck? Make sure you add our Tow hook Kit which includes the brackets and hardware you need. Only required on trucks without factory tow hooks.
COMPATIBILITY
Fitment: This Kit Fits all 2013 - 2018 RAM 1500 Trucks with the Steel Front Bumper. This came on all models and trim packages except the Sport, and Express models, which come equipped with a 1 piece plastic bumper. This kit is compatible with the 3.6L V6, 5.7L HEMI V8 and a 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engines! The Mount has been designed to bolt directly onto the frame with no welding required. Cutting a hole in the bumper is required to make room for the fairlead. Straight forward Traceable Templates are provided in the kit.
Well thought out design. I purchased the mount, clutch relocation kit, and flip-up license plate mount. Installation was pretty straightforward. Did most of the installation myself in an afternoon. Just had to have help lifting the mount and winch into place. My installation was a little different. The mount is designed for a winch with a synthetic rope but I got a screaming hot deal on a Warn VR EVO 12, wire rope, that I couldn't pass up. Only modification required was a couple of spacers behind the roller fairlead. Love the final product, very clean and understated. Preserved the look of the 4th gen Ram, which is what I wanted. The installation video on the Vice Design website was super helpful; saved me a lot of time. Highly recommend this mount.

Eazy to install
Video provided by Vice five a step by step process, but you might have to look at 2 different video if you have tow hooks. Even though some of the hardware provided have differed from when the video was made it is easy to figure it out.
Can be a long task for amateur without all of the appropriate tools, but I was able to fully managed.

Lie about your product not show what you really buy fals advertising
Hi Danny, we're sorry for your negative experience purchasing from us, but we think it's pretty clear that our hidden winch kits do not come with a brand new OEM Ram bumper.
We do also have an established return policy and are happy to take your hidden winch kit back per the terms of our return policy!
Thanks

Fit Perfectly
Hello.
Your product fit perfectly, easy to install, logical. I will definitely recommend it to others. Thank you.
The item fit perfect. Exactly as described. The video on the product page made the install and setup so much easier. I’m considering putting one into my other vehicle now as well. Love this.
First and foremost, I am very happy with the kit. My only gripe is I still have the stock air dam with stock air dam mounts which the new bumper brackets interfere with. Second is the tow hooks. The new bumper brackets do not take into consideration the nut postioners, also the video does not address the reinstall of the tow hooks. Minor issues I was able to solve and again overall very happy with the kit.
Visual appearance and fit is pleasing for truck. I was hoping for this to be heavier duty for some minimal protection. For what it cost I’m not happy with my purchase. If I could have shipped back for return I would have.
Hi Nathan,
Glad the bumper fit well and you're happy with how it looks. The bumper is certianly up to the task in the strength department - we've had plenty of cutomers who have hit deer on the highway and its completely protected them and the vehicle. The bumper mounts are 1/4' thick and are fully boxed. The 10ga (0.135') shell is thicker than the industry standard of 11ga (0.120'). We design the bumpers so they can be daily driven and not bag out the suspension and steering components, which will happen if you go to a heavier steel. You're well protected!
This skid plate balances function and aesthetics. I’ve had this on my truck for a few weeks now, and I strongly believe it is a must have item for any off road enthusiast or everyday commuter that wants added protection and peace of mind.
The skid plate is built extremely well. This adds a much needed layer of protection under the front bumper to shield the lower portion of the engine and other nearby components. The steel construction will easily deflect any potential hazards while both on and off the road.
The sleek, low-profile styling really helps set this plate apart from some of the others out there, and its unique design is also one of the first options like this to market for the 5th generation Ram 1500s. It seamlessly integrates with the OEM bumper, and it doesn’t look awkward or out of place at all.
Vice Design prioritized user convenience from an installation standpoint. This skid plate fits OEM mounting points perfectly. The installation process is straightforward and can be completed with basic hand tools.
Regarding the quality and fitment, this skid plate is an excellent value. It’s an investment that adds protection, functionality, and an improved look to your ride all at the same time. I’ve been very happy with this product so far and I have no doubt that this plate will perform exactly like it was designed to.
Highly recommended for RAM 1500 owners looking to enhance their truck’s capability and appearance!
