I bought a LOD mid width front bumper off a guy at the beginning of the year. When I was putting it on I noticed that the shackle mounts are just welded to the sheet metal (3/16” thick) and do not have any additional support. I sent an email to LOD asking about this and never got a reply. For anyone that has this bumper, have you had any issue with the sheet metal bending when putting stress on the shackle mounts (winch, tow strap, etc.). I’m impressed with the overall build quality of the bumper, but thought that there would have been a little extra support behind the mount.

Had one on the front past couple years no issues. Putting one on the rear this week or next - still stock with a lot of dings

Thanks for the quick replies. I just wanted to double check before I did something I would regret.
