most Winch bumpers are really pricey, If you find a cheap one let me know.
I am gonna wait till spring when I get a Welder and go from there, maybe make a tubing bender. IDK

yeah sry bout that i was in such a dazed mood i couldn't even think... for cheap the only thing i could suggest is find one used locally or weld one up yourself.
If ya think Kert's are expensive, you should see the "real" ones ... god, you can pay a coupla grand for a Reunel or one of those other (nice I'm sure, but not my style) cow-catchers.
Anyway, buy a welder and do it yourself, or find someone local with a welder who'll do it cheap. Heck, for the fun of making sparks and playing with fire, *I'd* do it cheap if you were local =))
Anyway, more seriously... this is what I did, at home, with a minimum of toolage (i.e. welder and torch, but no plasma cutter or lathe or mill or anything exotic.)

Yep, if you have any fab skills and tools build your own. It is pricey to pay someone to build them for you.
I bought my first one. It was a Warn Classic like pictured above but I beat it up pretty quick and then built my own. It lasted pretty well for a few seasons, then I tubed the frontend out and recessed the winch back to the radiator. The winch is mounted to a cradle that is welded to the frame.

Make your own = about $250.00 Bucks
does that price include getting Chromed. Cause I can get one made by WARN but the Chrome Is pretty messed up
Got this DPI bumper from a member for 500. I love this one, it saved me in a rollover, smacked drivers corner into a rock wall at Terminator, smacked passenger corner into a heavy tree at Crown King and kept my body straight

LIke others have stated, ton o threads on this topic.
Also, I would go to a fab shop and have them build you one specific for your truck or learn to make one. Its easier than getting a cookie cutter one from some manufactor that may or may not fit. Also its easier to build something on the truck than to make something fit the truck. Trust me on this. I ordered some front and rear bumpers from a company I refuse to name and it was the biggest abortion ever. From poor customer service to extended shipping times (was suppose to be one month took 5) and too poor fitmit of the bumpers.
Anyways, they ended up working out, but only due to my local fab shop making them fit.

Kert (DIY4X) built my set for less than what my local fab shop wanted for just a front bumper.
I'm about to start my front bumper build and i really like the design of this bumper but without the grill guard. What is the distance from the front of the bumper in the center to the valance panel? Also do the shackle lugs go all the way through the frame and are part of the bumper bracket?LIke others have stated, ton o threads on this topic.

Col_Sanders, Nice Truck. I like them Sliders you got on there, did you have DIY4X build those for you to?
badmix, I like the bumpers you got on your truck, what did it cost you to have them done, if you dont mind my asking? Also what size tire are you running on your truck?
Badmix, forgot to ask you, what size tubing is that bumper made from.
