Depends on what you consider "really cool" I guess. What are you going to be doing with the truck? Is it a daily driver? Are you going to want to mount a winch, auxilliary lights, air tank, high-lift jack, license plate, etc? These are all things to consider. Weight versus strength is always a factor as it will effect your front spring rates and shock performance. What are your fabrication abilitities and what tools do you have available to you?

Personally, nothing has more "cool factor" than a custom tubular or plate bumper that was made to suit your specific needs.

It isn't cheap, but it's really nice. The main tube is 3", makes it fit the size of the truck really well. Way too big for the kind of 'wheelin we do around here though.
