A quick look in the parts manuals for the word "brushguard" only came up with 2 pages for the A0-A2 series trucks, and one page in the ECV/REV manual.
They have different brackets in the first manual, but here is the page from the second manual.
Unfortunately, like a lot of parts for these, they use the most basic description possible so searching for it by it's name is worthless.
The word "bracket" shows up 347 times in the first parts manual part 1, and the same for part 2 of that, so almost 700 times.
In the ECV/REV manual it shows up 927 times

Why don't you straighten it? Does not look too bad to me.

I attempting that and had no results, maybe if I try heating it up, it'll work

Another question, that mount on the side, what is that made for? Is that for the luverne style bumper?

That "mount" next to it is for a D-ring type shackle for the wider part, then the lower hole is where the towbar would attach.

Talk to Steven at RWH - he might have one if anyone does.

It would be best to remove it then straighten it, should not be much work, I did see one online dealer that had them for around $75 + SH, a little oxy/acetylene is much cheaper.

You'll be able to straighten it easily. I straightened a rear airlift bumper with a torch and a ratchet strap. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-new-1992-m998-avenger.184818/post-2200967

I know it's an old dead thread, but I finally got back to this. I used a torch and an iron mallet and was able to straighten it within 10 mins

I have used TM's almost my whole life. I have never used the search function. The TOC will give you a place to start, and its up to you to LOOK. You can't tell me it was faster to use search.

For someone that isn't as familiar with the manuals, then search function can save time.
For someone that actually understands the manuals and uses them regularly, not so much.
in this regard, many things are easier with paper manuals as you can mark or highlight the pages you look at repeatedly. Not as easy on a computer.
