I think it looks too bulky and I think its too close to the body. The body flexes separately from the frame. This means the bumper and fenders will come into contact when a bumper is too close to the body. Like yours.
Props to fabbing your own stuff though.

thats a good thought, I didnt actually think about difference in body flex/frame flex... if its an issue I can add 1/8" spacers on the bottom brackets, and make the side brackets a little bigger and drop it down a bit.

Cool looking bumper. The way your shackle mounts stick out makes me think of something from Gladiator and their chariots. Do you know about how much it weighs?
