bumper looks awesome how did you do your receiver hitch is your bumper above it or is it just a receiver welded to the bumper? i just put my bumper on today and ive gotta figure out how to keep my receiver cuase my bumper hangs down too far may have to modify the hitch i guess

its just the stock hitch, the bumper sits on top of the receiver hitch, but it is not attached to it

It looks great I can't wait to see pictures of it after final grinding and paint.
Are you just going to keep your old bumper around? or what are you planning on doing with it?
