my rock rails: added on the the rubi rails with 1 1/2" tubing and some thin plate for a step. I have dropped almost the full weight of the jeep on them and they have held up just fine

If my idea of using a 2.5" piece of tubing I already have doesn't work out, I might add some steel plate like you have there.

Love your tire carrier btw... did you make it 100% yourself or did you just add the carrier to a mass produced bumper?
