Default Anyone with 98 Sport 4x4?

Been looking around for a replacement off road bumper for my 98 5.9 4x4 SLT Sport. Found a brushguard but every bumper that I am looking at the website fo that particular bumper says that they will fit in my year model and what not but will not fit on the"Sport" models. The only thing so far i could find was on ARBs(I think) website that said the same thing but had brackets saying "due to grill inteferance" or something of that nature.. What gives? Are the sport model grills that much differant? if that is the case i will just go buy another grill and color paint it like the factory issue one. But if there is more than that to having a correct fitting bumper then let me know. I was thinking about calling a few places up but I am stuck at work right now and can't really get into long convos on the phone and i usaully can't get out of office and to home before most of them close

I have that vehicle and will at some point need at least a rear bumper (completely rusted) and probably a front one as well...so let us know what you find.

I don't know about a bumper, but making your own isn't very hard, i'll get you some pictures of the one i made, its easy to do, all you need is a bumper, a pipe bender and some pipe, i used think fence pipes. It works, the only thing i'm missing is the skid plates. Heres a pic, i think this should work:
