If it's a place to hook up a tow chain or rope you're looking for, a front-mount reciever hitch will be good for that and probably alot cheaper than replacing the whole bumper. I made a 2" slide-in attatchment for my hitch that consists of a 2x2 ballmount tube with a tow hook bolted to it and a hitch pin hole on the other end. It works great! Reese makes the front reciever hitches as well as Hidden Hitch. Check out www.reeseprod.com or www.thetowzone.com under the hitch section. Tow Zone has them for about $112, for my truck anyways.
As far as another bumper is concerned, check out the Warn winch bumpers. www.warn.com

You're welcome. That front reciever hitch is a bolt-on. It bolts on to the bumper mount flanges inside the frame, at least on F350 4x4's it does anyways. On the Reese website, you can get a picture of the actual hitch for your truck... www.reeseprod.com
