    If I was getting armor for a 2nd gen I would get a bruteforce fab hyrbid front bumper, ATO high clearance rear bumper or possibly a tube bumper (haven't seen many for 2nd gens), 4xinnovations DOM sliders w/ kickouts and ATO skids.

    Not enough.
    Not on his website. You can call him and order them. The frame braces come into play when you are pulling with the front or hit something. They way the bumpers mount on 2nd gens is whack and has no real support alone. Without braces you can actually bend that mounting area.

    The first image shows how the gusseted brace wraps towards and around the front and bolt over the bumper.

    The following images show where the brace is bolted to the frame. This brace isn't fully mounted as the member had not drilled the second hole. The holes are pre drilled and one lines up with an existing hole in the frame. You just have to drill the other :) easy as pie.
