It would be this style with a swing out tire carrier. I can upload a picture once we get one made up

I'm in the market for a front bumper. Pics of front end ideas? I need something that doesn't stick out much farther than the factory, and has d ring mounts.

Here is the one I have, it has a Hi-Lift jack, radio antenna, receiver hitch mounts built-in and comes powder coated with shipping for $600 (to lower 48) and all grade 8 SS hardware included with nut strips also included.

It is a very HD made swing out tire carrier plus the bumper is HD also.

My front tube type winch bumper leaves some things to be desired as far as the D-Ring mounts having torn out part of the tube on several pulls that had to be re-welded. My next winch bumper will be rect. stock with more support.

we want to compete with other companies so I need to do some research but probably in the 5-600 dollar range

Maybe show some of the shops skills and their welds. There are a lot of shops, and a lot of shoddy ones ... Just to help people make their decision
