Custom Front Bumper

Custom Front Bumper
I just threw together a drawing of a front bumper
I was thinking about making. Please note it is in
the initial design stage. I'm planning to make it out
of 7 GA. sheet steel (.1793") w/ 1/4" mounts and
backer plates on the shackles. I'm still debating on
the built in hitch. Is there anything I should know
about airbag sensors? If I connect the bumper to
the original bumper mounts, will the airbags still work?
Or is it more complicated?

Design looks good, I'd go for it.
We won't run 2007 until January, they like to put the upgrades off here for as long as they can.

That's really nice... I'm trying to decide between a design like that, or something like a ranch hand bumper without the grill guard pieces... I'll see if I can post a pic of one, but basically, it uses a 3"-4" tube as part of the front edge of the bumper... I can't decide which would be easier to weld up..
