Default Winch Plate Freedom Edition MOPAR Winch-Capable HD Bumper

Anybody have any luck finding a winch plate that fits with the MOPAR Winch-Capable HD Bumper that comes with the Freedom Edition?
Rugged Ridge has a couple that look promising but not sure they will drop in without modification to the Plate itself.
Both of these look the same but have a huge difference in price:

I could be wrong, but don't the Freedoms just come with an AEV bumper? I think something like this would be what you're looking for......

Look at Jeep cheaping out..... We put a Tubeless on my buddy's and it came with the fairlead plate in the box so we just needed the plate, figured yours would be the same. Regardless, the '18 Freedom's are a pretty great deal with the AEV bits on em. Enjoy the install!

At least AEV was ready for us Freedom Edition and other's who buy editions from Jeep with their bumper on it. a bit more painful on the wallet but at least I know it will fit.
It is always a downer when you bring something home for a project and find out that you don't have all the necessary parts you need.
