This is what I did for a front bumper support that will clear the sway bar. I also let it extend down enough to attach beam supports that bolt to the pan.
1 1/2" x 1 1/2 x 1/4" angle attached to the beam with U-bolts.
2" channel and 1/4 x 2 1/2" flat bar welded to the angle at a 5 degree angle to support the bumper brackets. The two bolts at the end of the flat bar are attaching the bumper mounting brackets.
The rod ends on the bottom are the beam supports that run back to mounting holes on the pan. Also, I added a few extra holes to the flat bar for other things like the horn brackets, etc. This drawing will give a few more details, but the dims may be different for your car.
