I just hit a doe a few weeks ago with the dually, I was likely going about 40mph on impact. We guessed she weighed about 110-125 lbs, and the damage was pretty minimal. Broken plastic 'nut' on one headlight adjusting screw, and the centre rib of the grill was cracked.....took me 2 days to even notice it, as the crack only shows when you push in on the logo. Both items spring right back to position when pushed on, so I haven't bothered replacing either one.
That's with the stock front bumper, grill etc, btw. I hit her square along one side, smashed ribs, broke the pelvis and femur all in one shot. We were only able to save about 30 pounds of meat for the freezer, the rest went to the dogs to eat as it was all full of ruptured blood etc.

www.buckstop.biz/ (best bumpers I've ever seen for our generation, but not cheap at all)
Or look for "Warn Winch Bumpers". Warn tends not to carry our series but some suppliers still have them sitting around in warehouses.
That or craigslist. I got a warn enforcer bumper on CL, for like $150, had a dent in the chrome but straight frame, so no sweat off my back.

reasonable price is a tall order bud. finding them shouldnt be too hard. same bumper brackets as a 87-91 right? flat front so i bet one would work off one of them.

Yeah when I do the body swap I'm gonna invest in a buckstop. And then get a little 1/2 ton and stick my enforcer bumper on it for off-roading.
The backstops are just quality built and it shows.
