I second LMC.

If you're wanting to keep the stock(ish) appearance, LMC is a good choice. If you're wanting to go with something different (more aggressive, HD, off-road, etc), you've got a ton of options (some are verrrrry pricey though). Let us know which way you're leaning and we can offer up more suggestions.

I got one from a bone yard for $50 bucks and put it on in 30 min or so

I would love to see some pix of some after-market ones that are on the affordable side.

U pull it yard for $40 FTW! Just gotta find a nice rust free one.

None of the aftermarket bumpers will be as cheap as the OEM bumpers from a price standpoint. That said, the aftermarket bumpers are typically thicker metal, too. Check out some of the following links (hopefully they're all still good):

AliArc Bumpers
BUCKSTOP Truckware
Kennesaw Mountain Accessories
Offroad Tech truck bumper
RanchHand Bumpers
Reunel Bumpers
RoadArmor

or go with a newer body style, full size rear bumper. its not a direct bolt on but can be done and would look real nice.

I've never thought LMC had very good quality products. If you're looking for a OEM bumper, I'd just either look at Craiglist, or a pick and pull yard.

Otherwise, I really like some of the aftermarket bumpers available. Otherwise, if your fabrication skills are good, or know someone who can fabricate for you, maybe build your own bumpers?

Try your local junk yard. I too need a rear bumper for my 99 kon and will be searching various auto shops and junk yards here for one. But what I really want is an OB esky or denali rear bumper, that's if I can find one here.

bumpers

I recently replaced the bumpers on my '96 Tahoe by buying a '97 suburban and taking the bumpers off. One thing I did was to treat the light rust on the inside with Extend and black paint before reinstalling.

I'm sure they would ship, but another good, but pricey pick for an offroad/rugged bumper is:
