Those look pretty tight. I'd like to see the recovery points rotated up to the flat face so they aren't scraping and dragging. Otherwise I really like it. Are you doing these yourself or are you with a company?

there is a cut out for the factory hitch. (the one in the pic is a factory hitch)

there is a welding company that makes them for us. same guy that makes d2 front winch bumpers!!!!! we have sold a lot of those and have had no complaints.

the recovery points are very strong where they are. that is why they are put where they are.

none of your fucking business
The D2 front winch bumpers are ugly as shit...not the bumper as much as the brush bar part. It sits too low.

The rear bumpers are decent looking and the sliders appear functional.

Good luck in your endeavors.

Does it use the factory 2 mounting points? If so, you should remove those recovery points from the design. That is a hazard. And where do the turn signals go?

mounting is same as factory. as far as turn signals you will have to make your own holes for whatever kind of turn signals you decide to use.

dont know why you think recovery points are hazardous. if you will look at the picture that shows back of bumper you will see bumper is locked in place.

I would guess he was referring to the use of the factory mounts as they are not the most solid.

Recovery points on a rear bumper that retains the factory hitch are redundant, IMO. I was questioning the location because it seems they'll see a fair amount of dragging being mounted on the bottom-ish part like they are.
Turn signals on a rear D1 bumper are not necessary. All your required lighting is retained on the truck body.
Where in KY are you? I was just down there and would have loved to see them in person.

Recovery points on a bumper using the stock mounting is a very dangerous idea and if you don't understand why then you need to stop advertising off road products immediately.
