Do it. My brother found a company that makes bumpers just like that one for EBs. They are pretty beefy and look good IMO.

i still have friends there it would be fun to visit.one thing you might do is sink the reciever so you put the pin in from behind the bumper,so your bumper doesn't drag as much.

Could just turn the bumper around seeing as how its symetrical. I second that idea as well.

the distance from the pin hole to the end of the tube would be too long you'd need to sink the 2" square stock.
i don't know if its boxed in yet but that would be pretty heavy.mines just c-channel and even that is stronger than ranger frame rails.
not good for the frame in a wreck but if you have a winch you can't have the bumper moving around on the truck.
