I really wanna know how strong the dlink tabs are. Pulling from the side or a weird angle. 4 bolts dont seem to do it for me. For the price i can buy a bumper from nates4x4.

I like the look and the fact you could make your own bolt on brush guards for it. Yea you could weld the dlink tabs on yourself but then you mess up the powder coat.

Anyone got advise on how strong the dlinks would be?

Yeah just not a fan of bolts. ive seen grade 8 bolts get bent from having lumber lean against it, PS this was at homedepot when i saw it a few days ago. But yeah. I was debating buying it since its like 520 for everything including the stinger and it shipped. i passed and ordered one from nates4x4. he got my bumper done and built in 3 days and shipped in 4.

Is it just me or are they skipping the third bolt for the steering box in their brace?

Neighbor just got his put on this last week. Nice bumper but WAY to many bolts for my liking. He just got the stinger. No d-rings, you can add those later since they...bolt on.

Did it reinforce all the steering box bolt points? In the video on their site only looks as if they reinforce the lower two. Not sure if just inforcing 2 is worth it. You can buy some failr nice bumpers for the same price as their with all the options added to it.
