New RA Bumper
I'm going to try to see if this link works. I'm not the most 'puter literate guy. I'll have a few more pictures in tomorrow.

That bumper is powder coated. It's not an exact match but it's pretty close. It cost $150 to PC it, but they wanted an additional $250 to special order "Dodge PS2" silver. I almost did it until the told me the finish wouldn't be exact as it's thicker. It has a that "orange peel" texture to it when you look at it in the sun.
I wish I could fit in the garage too. I sit just a little too high. I can only get in to the top of the windshield. I haven't measured but I bet I'm too long too.
I can get some with the headlights on maybe tonight, depending on the kids. They get kind of tough sometimes. I'm expecting to add some PIAA 510's soon. Soon as that happens I'll post some pictures then too. The bumper is REAL close to the headlights, but I don't want to lower it anymore. I already have a 3/4 inch gap between the bottom of the fender and the top edge of the bumper. I guess it's engineered for more flex when you use the winch.
I'll get some better pictures (out in the sun) posted later today.

My guess is I was lucky. :-) I started out with all the mounting bolts loose. I tightened the frame rails first, and then used a big rubber mallet, hips, and a fat belly to move it as best I could while my buddy tightened up the remaining 6 nuts. I'd still like to shift it over about 3/4 inch to the drivers side, but I just don't think that's gonna happen.

when I adjusted my buckstop, I needed two floor jacks to get it adjusted correct side to side.
the first time I did it, things just lined up.
when I put the winch on, I need to adjust all the bolts over and over again to get it close. Then I gave up and said it looked fine.
