I am thinking about getting a rear shackle kit from PMF with a mounted front receiver hitch and possibly with recovery hooks.
Here is the link: http://www.pmfsuspension.com/OBS-RSK-SD-Spring-Hanger-Conversion-Kit_p_13.html
I am concerned about the strength of the crossbar that the hitch receiver and recovery hooks mount to. It looks to be 1x1x1/4" tubing to me. That seems to be a bit light for pulling a 7,000 pound truck out of a sticky situation.
Then I saw the front bumper that IDIoit is building in this thread (post #14): https://www.oilburners.net/threads/custom-front-bumper.81152/
That crossbar looks massive.
What do you all think? Does the PMF kit look strong enough? My plan is to build an awesome tow rig rather than an off trail beast. But I still would hate to try to pull on this thing and have it fail.
