I think you need another bar across the middle, just below the highest one
 






I just put a new bumper on my 91 XLT. It really depends on how strong or heavy you want it. I threw both my old bumpers out and custom made one for the rear and just put a 3x3 by 1/4" box tubing on the front. I had to grind down both sides of the frame a clean it like crazy to get a good weld on the frame. It works for what I need it for (to cover the bottom of my radiator when I'm going over rocks. Good luck, and get creative!

Sorry i havent got a chance to Post it, i think its just a little to much for me, alot more tubing than is needed and a little to gaudy for my taste, ill host it up in just a minute, once i find it again....

To each his own. I hope you find what your looking for.
