Think I like this front bumper:
Thinking about building a front bumper similar to this but extending the front further away from the grille and adding small hoop with lights then closing off the bottom with a skid plate.?
Any body have any experience with the pro tools build-your own bender?

I'm making that bender I showed you.

It needs a winch. Big truck +big built bumper with no winch = lame.

Yep, I was wondering where the winch was going to fit!
it doesn't have to be big and heavy but if you slope the skidplate away a little you could hide a winch behind the skidplate

So the bumper will be more for aesthetics and ramming? What are you going to be doing with the truck? I'd find a winch on CL and try and make it work. Certainly nice to know its there just in case.
I am not a fan of anything 'prerunner style' on a 1 ton pickup.
I guess I am thinking a bumper with more utility would be better for the camping/kayaking/fishing/beach driving/hunting/shilohridging you would be doing in it.

Utility will be holding lights/recovery points, receiver hitch and being lighter with more ground clearance than what I now. I'm building a 8,000lbs winch mounted on a receiver hitch that will fit in the tool box right now, but its primary use will be for dragging **** onto trailers.
Don't 16,000 pound Warns cost about 2k? I'm all for having a winch when I find a good deal but it is not a primary concern.
edit- $1,600 WARN 16.5ti
The truck is being built for hauling kayaks, boats and camping. Also I'm mainly just collecting parts right now as good deals come along
