2019 Ram 2500HD, Is there a hidden winch mount available?

That what it looks like. I'm not sure if I should buy the badlands or warn. Looks like badlands might be 3 times cheaper.
There is no question Warn is a better winch, however I’ve had a Badlands one on my Jeep since 2015 and just transferred it to my 3500. It isn’t the prettiest thing in the world and some of the chrome came off but it’s never failed me and refused to die so I moved it over. Since it’s hidden I’m not worried about how it looks.

I think I will give it a try.

Hey guys, I'm looking at adding a hidden winch to my 2021 Limited 2500 Hemi. (when it arrives in December).
Have you figured out what the part number if for the lower grill? the drawing has six different grills listed for #3 in the diagram:

I'm thinking of going with the Warn Zeon Platinum so I won't have to deal with locating the clutch handle or wiring a plug for the controller.
Thanks
John

I ordered the lower grill and should have it in couple of weeks. Will let you know

Okay folks. Check my photo in post #59. Do you think I should drill and tap another hole there for second bolt? From factory they are using only one hole. Have no idea where there are two on the winch bracket. Second hole will make it stronger I think.
I was thinking same thing but I can't figure it out why they drilled two holes in the winch bracket but only one in the side bracket.

Perhaps the second bolt hole was just for a different application that was under development when the winch support was being designed, maybe a different winch was being considered or a different front bumper that would make use of the second hole by dropping the support lower.
Found this 2500 for sale on eBay with a hidden winch. I sent an email to the seller asking for more info. https://www.ebay.com/itm/274537507171
Here’s some pics from that listing.

Here. They are located in Michigan. I always get parts from them the next day after they ship it. Takes them about 2-3 days to ship

Which part number was the correct one?
Okay. Just got a notice the missing parts were picked up by fedex so I should have them by the end of this week. Also I went and purchased the Badland Apex Synthetic 12,000 lbs winch. Hopefully I can start the installation soon
looking forward to that info!!
