thats what i was thinking

 

That's what she said...

 

that looks awesome i love both bumpers accually i love your truck

 

can you post the mock up measurements

 

well... there are alot of measurements almost everything has some kind of taper too it, is there any inparticular you want?

 

Looks damn good i need those bumpers lol my stock crappy plastic bumper cover is covered with truck bed coating aswell as the grill



05 Dakota 3" PA body lift, 1.5" leveling kit, 33x12.50 NITTO Mud Grapplers on 20" ION Alloy rims

 

whatever you can give is great i've been looking all over the place for grille guards or road armor type bumpers and so far it looked like i would have to build my own and im not very good at it but yours looks awesome and any help or advice with building it during any part that you could give me would be greatly appreciated and by the way my dakota is the same year as yours but mine is an SLT not a TRX4

I like the idea of welding a hitch on! I would put some diagonal brackets on but how much do you think this will hold and tow? If it has help up for you, I think I might considering doing something very similar.

 

i did the hitch like this because of the body lift, the original hitch just hangs down in the same position after the lift,
as far as strength... i would not be afraid to over load the truck with it the way it is, you cant see it but there is some big bracing on the back side of the bumper that the hitch is connected too, it will hual just as much as the original hitch and probably a whole lot more
