Bumper Ideas?

[Vortec Lover]

Okay y'all, you all know what my truck looks like now after the recent upgrades:

Now the next thing I want to do is my bumper...

some things I want:

1- look good (given)
2- winch (wanted one several times)
3- hold off road lights (not absolutely necessary, but already have most of the hardware for them)

I know I can have a reciever-mounted winch, so that will be in the back of my mind.

Options:

go diesel bumper, mount the lights in it and get a receiver winch

just pull off my valence and rock out with some shackles, receiver winch and screw the lights

get a winch bumper, mount the lights and a winch in it

or I can stay as I am, screw the lights and get a winch for only the rear hitch....



Okay- just keep in mind that I'm trying to do something that flows with the rest of the truck.
If you have your own ideas of what I should do, speak up.

Get a winch bumper!

I modded my stock bumper with a hoop and light tabs, but it's only temp till I can afford something better

*EDIT* - now that I think about it, I like the option of what I have, PLUS pulling the valence and adding shackles - really it depends on your budget*

since you have a BL keep the valance on IMO to much exposed with out it. I also think a diesel bumper with the vertical impact strips and a set of lights would look killer! so thats my vote lol

I'm impartial, but I vote for diesel bumper.

Run shackles through the valance as well.

Here is a better picture of mine.

I have always liked to look of the lights in a diesel bumper

My girlfriend says take off the valence rock the shackles and no lights. She says it would be to much for your truck with the other choices and she is the one I go to when I like something and she straight up will tell me if something will look good or bad.... However sometimes I listen sometimes I dont haha and my vote goes to winch bumper and lights!

Without my valence seriously I love it IMO. I had a bunch of screws that held it in so if you get the time pull it see if you like it... if not put it back on.
I know you were questioning on it a while back and that would be the cheapest route
