Not sure what you are looking for, just options? IMHO the stock bumper looks ok but can look heavy and like a cowcatcher at times. I intend on flipping mine to get away from that and do something a little different. You can do this with just flipping the brackets along with it but it sets the bumper down an 1"+ and to me looks a little out of place. I intend on making the top even with where it sits now. You could also just have a spreader bar between the frame rails like what's used on a older hot rods. I am not a fan of roll pans but people like others here have made ones that look good. I ran my truck for years without a front bumper and just some fog lights bolted to the radiator splash pan.
