Steel Bumper
I'm looking for a good low profile steel front bumper. I don't want anything really bulky or something that sticks out really far. It'd be great if there was one that you could mount a winch in or on. Anyone know any good brands? Thanks

I have more experience with jeeps but I'll give it a try. If you are wanting a winch the bumper is going to be more "bulky" and stick out more because you have to make room for the winch. I haven't really shopped around for a bumper on my truck but most off road bumpers are that big to make them strong.
I would just shop around and see what you find.

I would recommend Iron Bull, but I don't know if that is the style your going for. Also, people think that they are over priced. There aren't too many brands that are less bulky, and more low profile. In fact I don't think there are any. Here are all of the brands I know of, for replacement bumpers;
1. Boondock bumpers (cheapest replacement bumper on the market, located in Oklahoma, powder coateds, almost has the "chin" look from the side).
2. Iron Cross (which is also located in Oklahoma, powder coated, allegedly stole Boondock bumpers style, bad reviews about their welds/construction/customer service).
3. Buckstop bumpers (located in Oregon, powder coated, comes with the most "add-ons" for your money, different style than any other replacement).
4. Iron Bull (located in California, comes bed-line'd, the best bumper for form fitting angles, some people have issues with the custom service, but less about the bumper it's self).
Those are practically it. Unless you are going to find someone locally to create one for you. Even Fab Fours, and Road Armor stoped production on the 04-08 models. Ranch Hand is the only other brand I left out, but that is because their bumper can not be purchased without a grille gaurd, which would be considered "bulky." BTW, expect to pay anywhere from $800-2,000 depending on the bumper you get. The more basic you go with, the lower the price will be.
PS: Every replacement bumper on the market has the capability to obtain a which, it all depends if that feature comes standard, or if you have to pay extra.
