Here's a front tube bumper which I made for my 1st gen. This particular bumper was designed to fit a removable Winch behind the Nissan logo plate (or in the rear hitch receiver).
Started with a wooden template to mock it up, and tubing was bent with a harbor freight pipe bender (not as straight forward as you might imagine) and a cutoff wheel/welding deal trick for the sharper bends. A couple tips I've heard are to do little micro bends a half inch apart, or to fill the tube with sand before bending it.

3/8" plates for the braces, 1/4" steel for the winch plate material, 1.5" .200 wall tubing and then 3/16" plates for the winch cover and little side pieces.
Added some LED fogs and spot beams, hooked them up to the DRL and High Beams, and it makes a huge difference at night.

I think I wood have just stopped at the mock up. It looks good. The final product is pretty awesome too.

Your build looks interesting, do you have more pictures? What does the rear bumper look like. What lift do you have in your truck?

The front lift is just the torsion bar tightening, and the rear lift is two new leaf packs with 3" of lift provided by an additional leaf.

Cheers!
