Chop 4 inches off of the frame, and put a plain steel bumper on it. It then looks like this. I've done a few other thing since this picture, but I do like the way the bumper turned out. The dirty truck is a free shot.

Your tow hooks should be parallel to the ground. Driver side hook is not.

I know that the drivers side hook is bent but does that mean that the frame is bent or just the mounts?

The frame will bend before the hook.

Here is a clear picture of the tow hook mounted to the frame. See how much thicker the cast tow hook is compared to the boxed frame. If your tow hook is not parallel to the other one the frame is bent/twisted.
