    With the demise of Pelfreybilt, 4X Innovations had the best bumper I came across, but unfortunately I could not find a lot of pictures/reviews, so I thought I'd share mine:

    Overall, the fit, quality, and price were excellent; the bare bumper showed up at my door step in less than a week for $725 shipped.
    You can tell that the craftsmanship is superb; everything is well reinforced, and they have the only rated aftermarket hitch available.
    I found a local Powdercoater to do the bumper in gloss black for $200 - It is almost a perfect match to the 202 paint code, but I wish I had gone more matte because it almost blends in with the truck too well.
    One minor installation issue I had was the trailer wiring harness didn't fit and had to be ground down with a dremel.

    I do wish they offered a hidden hitch option, but they said they had previously and they did not sell. I took before and after measurements and the clearance gained is about 2 inches.

    Thanks for the review. Is the bumper ready for the swing arm or would that require drilling if you decided to add that later?

    Adam (@traxman25) can confirm but I'm almost positive swing arm is weld on. If you wanted it later you would have to weld it and re-finish (or find a shop to do so). I'd try to figure it out prior to ordering.

    I would only be interested in the hidden hitch version, I wonder if they would build one?
