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'm getting this next!! I'm thinking I want that stinger too but I wish it was the hight of the light bar
It looks like if you get the stinger that it has the d ring things integrated into it? Can someone confirm that because that's what it looks like to me, if so I will be ordering this in two weeks!!

Its a jcr bumper so it comes with tie-in plates. The bolt holes on the bumper will bolt to the tie-in plates that run down the uni-body. So it will be more then 3 Bolts per side. Just like how the RC bumper comes with the tie-in brackets as well.

Rough Country tie in plate's front 7 holes are for bolting the bumper parts together. There's only 5 bolts on the frame(2 are thru bolts).

All of our Cherokee winch bumpers come standard with the tie-in brackets, but they are options on all other Cherokee front bumpers.

That makes no sense at all. Why would a company sell beefy tie-in brakets for a build your own bumper kit but not include them for a bumper that they sell. It makes no sense at all.......All the bumpers they sell come standard with there tie-in brackets. Read what they wright in there description for there bumpers.

you can buy them and then build your own bumper off of them as well. it is just a butt welded tie in bracket. not uncommon.
and check this right out of their instructions.
but as stated the winch bumper comes with them.

Im not a huge fan on the whole Bolt in/on process.
I personally would rather have my brackets welded on and my d tabs welded... but that is just me.
