My rear bumper was bent and tailgate would not open easily. Backing over a tree does that. After a 3" body lift relocated the rear bumper above the old frame mounts, and it would have fit perfectly if it wasn't bent. Doh.
Starting from that point and not caring if I broke it, I used a torch and bent it somewhat back to where it should be. I think I did a good job getting it straight. Mounted lights underneath, hacked it up a little and bolted full-size F-series tow hooks to frame points where the bumper previously mounted using grade 10.9 hardware.
Here is the end result. I'm going to clean up the cuts, seal them, weld them and put some think black weather stripping around them for a more professional look. I think it turned out good for a stock bumper. It is a little red-neck but not totally backwoods whisky-tango.
Near future is to put a front 2" hitch receiver on her since the front bumper is now raised up 3 inches and won't need much if any cutting and will look good while still allowing after market baja-style front bumper later. The plan is to use the hitch for another hook or a large recovery shackle as well as making it easy to use a vice up there, or even a winch.
