How is that mounted, if it's to the factory bolt locations I wouldn't put any tire bigger than a 33 on it. You'd need to weld tabs and fab up a hinge and some kind of latch.

well the bumper looks like it has box tubing support behind it so i would come under it with another tube and then drill through the top tube and drop a spindle like the one jeeptubes sells through it and weld it to both the lower and upper tube

this is what i did with mine

also the straight tube on my swing is 1-3/4 x .120 wall but i ran a 1-1/2 x .120 wall tube inside it and welded them together on the ends and full pen welded to the spindle tube so you end up with a 1/4" wall lower tube to support the weight

need any other advice just PM me
