Front Bumper Support?

I have to straighten this part of the Unibody out(XJ was in a minor front accident) but after it is straight I was wondering what some guys have done to make this area stronger(added bracing, steel plating, etc..)Pics will help the most

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about it either. Just bolt some plates on the sides and weld yourself up a good bumper and call it good. Straitening that won't really affect anything one way or the other.

I have a Beefy bumper that I am working on that should be strong,I just figured that while I had it apart I could weld in some 1/4" angle in order to make the base for the bumper alot stronger that is what I meant by straightening it out? IDK? Just an idea.
