    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    Damn, I just read back some. This a much more logical answer. I had to fab mine myself since I went 2.5" shorter. I didn't get those.

    Nice choice of pic. Two bruteforce fab bumpers, even tho it's just the front corner of mine.
    So here's the rest....

    Nothing too exciting... maybe a little rust
    Those bumpers look so good. I'm crossing my fingers that my tax return will be as big as the calculator is telling me. If it is, @Bruteforce Fab will have another pair to build before next summer.

    What springs did you guys swap to for the hybrid front bumper with winch on a second gen. I have sliders and a skid also. I'm think 650 for my fox 2.5

    I'm running sliders and Alumnium bumper and skid but going to steel ifs and front skid (transfer case/diff) shouldn't be stiff then I'm definitely not soft running 2.5 King resi w/ #650... Feels stiffer then #600 coils and 5100 for sure but also still running sway bar might be another reason

    Stiffness will really depend on how much preload you put on your coilovers. For example, If I set my coilovers to 3" of lift it will be a pretty stiff ride. If I set my coilovers to 2" of lift it will a nice smooth ride.

    I have full skids and sliders plus a winch

    I swapped my 650# for the 14" 700# icon coils. My truck was sagging with the plate bumper and synthetic winch.

    Ugh I keep pinging guys and it seems the Dakars are hit or miss on the actual strength. Some come with + and some come with - sprayed on them
    Apparently and quality control is meh. Now you're making me think otherwise and just getting the AAL and just throwing it in
