So now that I've got my lift. I need a good bumper. I know ARB is my best bet but I don't want to spend $1000. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Build your own. At this point in time the ARB is about the only option other than building your own or modifying one made for a different vehicle.

I've been seriously considering these guys, I have yet to find a bumper I'll go into debt to buy yet though. (I have this stupid idea of finding a real bumper with an actual grille guard)

You may want to dig around more on the fabrication section and do some searches on this company and bumper. At one point I believe the legal authorities were involved. Run Away! Don't want to discourage you or come right out and disparage a company (or get this thread off track :-)r ). OK, so, Killer Bumper, but they're just not available! Go ARB, or somebody just bought one from Tailready, Also you may be able to find pictures of one or two RL front bumpers if you look hard enough, but I don't think you can get those anymore either.

Really that's too bad, I haven't heard anything bad about them but thanks for the warning. Honestly the best bet is to build your own (if you can) or find a shop that can build you what you want, if your like me you'll change your mind 10 more times before you do anything anyway.
