Im 100% with you I love mine and ill probably be stepping up to 33s when my 31s are toast

See the seam inside that tubing?? That is the mark of HREW steel. Hot Rolled Electrically Welded steel is some of the softer steel available, but it is normally plenty for what we are doing.

Compared to no bumper... yes.

The thickness looks to be about 1/8 inch?? Its not ideal for a bumper, 3/16ths or 1/4in would be better.
