I have used channel "U" iron beems for bumpers as well and I will say they hold up more abuse than you can imagin. and that includes them road deer as well.
as for mounting it, I have to agree with road.
4 case harden 1/2 inch lag bolts will hold up to all the abuse yu can muster (meaning the fram will bend befor the bolts give way.) and in cases where the frame bends weld tend to break.
you can drill 4 bolt holes a lot cheeper than welding.
learn from some one elses experience in this case and not by your own. it will save you money cash and time.
+ as road said you can take it with you when you change vehicles.
