Ok, a few more updates. I recieved the 6061 aluminum I need to make the front bumper bracket. I already had a custom skid plate fitted, I removed it and used it as a template to make a copy, except I made it about an inch longer. I bent the new skid so that the bumper would be at the right angle to match the body. I bolted the stock Slash bumper to the extended skid and bolted the skid to the chassis.
Here are the basic parts, 3" aluminum bar stock, original skid, new extended skid and Slash bumper.

Everything bolted together.
Installed Stock Slayer body to test fit bumper.
