Tank8265 1988 Pickup Build

Well I am ready to start doing some more mods to truck. I currently have a 22re bored out .25 and throttle body spacer, 4.5" suspension lift, stock front ifs with detroit locker, and stock rear with detroit locker, 4.88 gears front and rear, 35" tires. The truck came with front brush gaurd and I want to add a custom front bumper and keep the gaurd, I want it to be strong enough to be able to use as a jacking point with a hilift. What do you think would work best?

Nice truck man! I'm looking forward to seeing the new bumper! How much more power over a stock 22re are you making? Also if you decide to get rid of your brush guard because of the new bumper, i'll take it off your hands for you!

I already have a bigger torsion bar if needed and a good freind of my dads is a professional welder and competes in rock crawling so he is going to help me.
