need help on bumper for truck sorry i know this is not the site for this

so i have 92 gmc sierra 4x4 and the other day i pulled my buddy out of a mud hole and f$%ked up my back bumper a good one so now i need a new one. i can get my hands on some 3" construction pipe and some 4"pipe of the same grade so what should i do 2 3" pipes stacked or 1 3" pipe or 1 4" pipe

i would really appreciate your opinion as i cant find any pics of what im looking at doing

I'd use 2 of the 3" pipes if I was doing this on my 94 Sierra. Have you tried fullsizechevy.com? I'm a member on there too, and although its not as good as TGO for troubleshooting help, the fabrication forums are pretty good.
