Front bumper will be off very shortly for new AJ bumper Thanks

U bolts sound clean. My buddy drilled right into his stock brackets. They hold a lot of weight.

the u bolts look like they came with it the way it sits on rails feels real sturdy. i may need to lower it for clearance to get into my trailer after the lift and tires.

Depends after my lift with my toyhaler height for spare on top and length if I get a carrier that's why I haven't bought a rear bumper yet. I want to put on roof and have clean back end without obstructing view and have to always unhook to get in. I have heard about higher center gravity and more wind resistance worse mileage on the roof

I think the rear tire carrier looks the cleanest, but I feel the same way about the view obstruction. Right now I don't even have a spare haha.
