I like this one. It retracts and is not a hazard for smashing your shin accidentally. I am not sure where I purchased it but I think it was $95 at the time. It bolts into the frame rail so it requires removal of the interior bumper bar (which is de rigeur for weight loss anyway).

I still have some photos of installing it on my SPB here. You just cut a slot in the bumper for it. An exacto knife will cut through the bumper pretty easily.
