a buddy of mine makes his own. he uses delron and cuts it down enough to fit in the end of the frame on a wcm. he buys larger material and cuts it into collars. he found a shop that sells the material. no he doesn't make them for sale.

I made mine from 3/8" aluminum rod purchased at Home Depot and filed down the end to fit the square tubing on the WCM. After inserting it, then drill and tap for bumper channel mounts. Purchased the collars from McMaster.
Pro1's I've seen use a collar to mount to the frame rails, with something welded to the collar for posts.
You can also use foam blocks on the posts for body height adjustments as well.
Post mount drawback. If you have someone come across the hood, it can catch on the body post and do some damage to your body, and their under carrage.
