    Are you just wanting a plain steel bumper, are you wanting protection (brush guard/bullbar), are you wanting high clearance?
    Do you have a rough budget?

    If you have no idea, check out build threads until you find what you like. Currently there isn't enough info to help you besides telling you to go to Google or look at what others have done.

    Too many, but not enough....
    Get something that has crumple zones and airbag rated. Cheap steal bumpers make it more likely to damage your frame in an accident

    Can't beat ARB. That said I have and would recommend Ranchhand for superior protection at a reasonable price. Pictures don't do them justice at all. Very good looking and solid as a rock. Shrockworks makes a solid built bumper as well. Why not get looks and protection???

    On the 2.5 gen I think the ADD looks the best.

    Here’s an ADD bumper and an SS built bumper with valence.

    Sorry but that just does not look right IMO. OP, check out ARB and Dobinsons if you want one with hoops.

    Sorry but I disagree.

    I think it looks better than any other bumper out there with headlight perimeter protection. The ARB is the only other I'd go with.

    The angle definitely makes a difference in how our bumper looks. It's not for everyone, but we gain a ton of ground clearance and add a ton of protection without covering up the details in the factory grill.
