    So I need to know if this is a good ideal or bad. I am almost done with the tube part of my bumper. It is bolt on and I was thinking of running a support tubes from the back side of the bumper to the two bolts that go threw body and bolt it to the frame. The 1st picture shows the location I'm talking about the second shows a mock up tube as an example. I have an idea what I'm going to do But some opinions would be nice0421160724b.jpg0421160724c.jpg 0421160725.jpg 0415161728a.jpg

    Dont mount it there. Remember the body moves independently of the frame on its mounts. Quite a bit more than you would think.
