I used 3" x 6" 3/16" tube for the bumper. Its mounted with 8 1/2" grade 8 bolts plus 4 3/8 " grade 8.
I used 2"x2" x 1/4" wall tube for the mounts to the frame.
Thanks for the good words on my bumper.
when I get a winch I will build my front bumper.

I made mounts that bolt to the bottom of the frame rail. The mounts go back 19" onto the frame using all frame holes. I was also going to use the stock bolts but they all were rusted and broke. I made new holes next to stock and put plates behind to help make mounts stronger.
