yeah not totally sure on the finish im going to do. and yeah i also want to put some mesh over the blinkers like you said to make the life longer. but this will be going on my 93 pickup.

might have to mess with the torsion bars to keep it level? what do you guys think?

torsion bar crank? ...just how heavy is that thing?!

It will be heavier than stock I grant you but I doubt you'll need to adjust the bars...
if the shocks are still original or worn out a bit you may need to replace them but that would be it imo... if a shock replacement is indicated Rancho 5000's are a great budget buy... if you can afford them go with Bilsteins.

speaking of that dodge's bumper red... is that one your grampa made or is it from another shop?

yeah well have to see after i put it on if ill have to mess with them or not. i recently put a lift on it so it has new shocks on her so im hoping they will hold up cuz there the procomp es9000's.

and yes he did make that bumper too. along with the lumber rack thats on it also. but im more of a stinger guy than a bull bar....

well at least carry it around with you. that way, you can play the "i haven't mounted it yet on my new bumper" card

The bumper looks great!!!!! I just finished building one pretty close to yours. I was actually thinking of recessing fog light like your turn signals. Now just time for a winch and offroad lights
