    Which do you recommend for strength between bolt on with some high grade hardened bolts or welded?

    It depends on how you'll use them. What kind of wheeling do you do?

    Honestly nothing too serious. I like to try pushing my limited abilities with crawling and that's probably the only time I'd like to have them for peace of mind. I really want them for use with a hi-lift.

    Not that bolt on wont allow you to use a hi-lift, but it would be highly recommended to just get them welded on for peace of mind :cool: I've put mine to use on the trails and used the hi-lift on them. It's really nice to know they're welded and not going anywhere, just gotta commit to having KMF forever apart of your truck...which is pretty badass if you ask me :D

    Those whips are pretty gnarly! Do they come in any color?

    Haha I'm down to have them welded on, there's no issues with that! Just looking for the best option. And even if I ever decided to sell the truck or trade, angle grinders work well on metal;)

    Single colors are red, blue, ice blue, green, lime green, white, or theres my remote control version thats any color you want :)

    Like Stefen said, the weld-on is the strongest option. I'd go that route :)

    Hey Andrew, any interest in building front bumpers? I'm toying with the idea of putting on a plate bumper and winch.
