I want to add some side protection and a place to maybe fit a high lift under on the sides of this bumper. Any ideas? Tube, or more plate? The spring hangers have since been removed so any comment's on those can be saved. The rest of the side fangs have been removed also level with the top of the bumper. Some quick drawings would help.

Maybe post pics of the bumper in current form?

I wouldnt think mounting the jack under the bumper would be a good idea, put it in the back/bed to keep it out of the rocks...

By highlift under I meant a place to jack up the front not a mounting location.

place 2 crome shackles hanging infront of the framemounts, that looks good and can be used for both towing and lifting the truck :smokin:

I would think about one tube, about frame width, over winch, and angled slightly forward,
then one on each side, starting about 1/3 down from peak,
that would angle outward. also, a mount for a fairlead of some kind.
and mounts for d-rings/ recovry hooks.
try looking at some of the bumpers in the vendor section for inspiration.

That's pretty much exactly what I did with mine:

Maybe something like this? Weld some more rectangular tubing to the sides then wrap the side stinger bars around to the ends?

I think it looks good.
