Another option is the Rough Country front and Road Armor rear bumpers. Rough Country is probably the lowest profile aftermarket bumper. Not super high quality, but for the price it is a decent option. Comes with lights, but those where pretty low quality switched them out for Diode Dynamics. Road Armor rear is a winch capable bumper decent quality for the price. Need to modify the factory tow hitch for installation by cutting off tabs where OEM bumper attached.

Dang that sucks, cant wait to see it.
I finally got around to working with a local shop to get the bumper modified and installed along with the ARB Solis 21s that I ordered a while back. Parking sensors work normally (had to drill holes), and I had a Westin ACC relocation bracket that moved the ACC up to the top part of the grill. I still need to test this placement to make sure it works, but it's a known good alternate location for the ACC, so it should be fine.

That's so wicked looking, I really wish Ford had installed the acc sensors on the bumper from the getgo

Thanks! And no, it doesn't make any sense why they didn't provide pre-drilled holes, it would save everyone the time and nuisance of drilling holes. Mine aren't exactly where I wanted them, the two outside sensors are farther out than they probably should be, but they're working.

And not providing an extra ACC bracket to work with the bumper was another thing that didn't make sense. There are holes on the bottom part of the bumper where it looks like it could (should) go, but no, you have to DIY it into place, wherever you choose. I used a Westin kit that moved it up into the top part of the grill, off the bumper completely -- others have just fabbed up brackets to use in the bottom part of the bumper.
