It's a nice looking bumper, But i'm concerned about the thickness of the steel.
I've seen cheap bumpers built with 14ga and 12ga steel. Quality bumpers are going to be 3/16" to 1/4" steel.
If you just want looks it's a good cheap buy. If your rockin' it you may need to get more info.
I sent Rough Country an e-mail asking about the thicknesses of the different parts. I'll post the answer if they give me the info.
I do really like the frame tie in plates. I hope they are thick!

The thickness of the bumper and brackets are 1/4in.

Good looking bumper for a great price. Just wish it would have came out alot sooner. I've already paid for and am waiting for my bumper from logans. If it would have came out sooner I probably would have ordered one from them. Along with the stinger bar and d-rings.

Man, now i got a tough decision to make. I was going to get a bumper from Little Leonard, but wasn't looking forward to waiting for it.

that is one nice sweet looking bumper!
wish it would have come out a little sooner i wouldnt think twice about getting one
as for the thickness you guys are worried about i guess the only thing to do is test it out
so if someone out there has an extra 400 bucks ill go ahead and let you order one up and ill test it out really good for everyone

I like the Rough Country bumper and it seems HD. But tube is stronger than plate, so I'm going with JCROffRoad's Winch bumper. It's not painted, but I like it better. And it comes with D rings, Light mounts and HD tie-in plates.

I like that. Never seen a brace running along the mounts. Needs a couple more holes on each side though....
