Hello again,

Im going to be buying some 2" x 4" Rectangle Tube with 3/8" wall to use to make my own bumpers. Im going to incorporate winch mount in the front, and D rings on them both.

My biggest issue is Where can I get a set of the uni-body re-enforcements here in Canada? so I dont get RAPED for shipping. And that will allow me to make the mounting brackets as strong as possible

If you're recovering from it you want 1/4" wall. Cheapest thing you can do is buy or download CNC plans for them and have a local shop cut them.

Yea. 3/8s is way overkill. Probably lower your front end another inch. Plus the weight of the winch.
