+1 for Dirtbound. I got their DIY kit at a local show they were at last year. They didnt have the frame tie ins on hand at the show, so the day i needed them a few weeks later, they drove them to my house and dropped them off so i could get them coated. Best customer experience ive ever had, hands down. They are local to me, so that helps, but they are really a great bunch over there.

Well I don't know how else you expect to adjust the bumper to match your body line. Also, I have been pulled a few times and mine still remains when I had it bolted down.

They have them so you can adjust it to fit right to your jeep because every jeep is tweaked differently... I have some aftermarket bumpers that had slots for alignment and I just got it right, tacked the bracket to the bumper then pulled them and fully welded them together.

Weld the brackets together after its fit, or don't so your steering box is easily removable.
