I would recommend tubular brackets if you have access to a bender, or someone who does.
If you go that route, let me know. I have DIY ranger mount kit available for $45 (includes 2 upper circle plates, 2 lower plates, 4 lower gussets). You weld the lower mounts together yourself to get the angle you want, as every truck is gonna be different.
