What's the latest new rear bumper replacement for the 2500 (2006)?

I don't want to spend the farm. But my OEM bumper has a few dents and a bit of rust and I think the truck would look better with a nice black steel or aluminum bumper.

LMC Truck sells a factory type replacement for around $350.00

I bought a cheap OEM style painted bumper off Amazon for about $150. Then I had it painted to match my truck (did the same with the front), but I had the inside of the bumper coated in rock guard- to keep rust away. I used POR 15 on all the brackets, and then used new stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts to replace everything but the two factory U style fasteners. Those I painted with POR 15 and a Rustoleum top coat.

For the PAN style carriage bolts- the flat head instead of rounded, I simply bought rounded head carriage bolts in stainless (because the pan style is not available) and then used a grinder to remove the rounded top. Worked great!
