Trailready bumper test fit *NEW PICS*
I have to modify the truck a little because of the body lift, but its a sweet chunk of steel. I am going to coat it in the DIY bedliner stuff, grey:

TR makes some nice stuff, but WOW that is a lot of green!
If I ever get bored, I may just start with some cardbaord, head over to the plasma, get a workout on the tube bender, and make one of those myself

GOOD GOLLY!!! If you're ever in a wreck the truck will end up all folded up like an accordion, hanging from the bumper, which is still in pristine condition. 
Are ya gonna have to upgrade your front springs to support that bumper?
Congrats on the bumper.

That is a nice hunk of steel! That would look SWEET if it was dipped in chrome, or if it was on my truckTrending Topics
That is a serious bumper! I'm looking forward to seeing the project finished.

Congrats on you good looking bumper.
Stamey, I don't think that he will have to upgrade his front suspension anymore than it alrady is, but it would do nothing but help anyway. It looks like the bumper will gross around 200-225 lbs. That isn't much weight, even for a stock front end. My ranch-hand grosses around 350-375 lbs, and my 4.5 SJ lift holds up fine. (Even a front end leveling kit will support that--had it before the lift)
Just my $.02

By the way, did anyone say GOOD LOOKING BUMPER!!!!
