the tube running across the bottom of the bumper will be cut back on both ends depending where my tires end up when turning. i dont want to attach anything to the lower/outer beam clamps, a hard hit would just transfer the force to the beam causing it to bend. those are there just to support the 6" wider beam from bending from a hard hit to the tire area. i like the 6" wider beam but they are prone to bending a lot easier than stock. odyknuck made some really nice saddles to use in the press to straighten the beam. why spend 200.00 on a new one when you know your gonna bend it.

great job bill on the front end , one question i have is on the lower tube you have that you said you were going to cut when you ck the turning radius, is those two stubs were you can toss a strap for those hills that ya dont make and dont want to go down backwards to fast ?

Front ends looking good. Could you shoot a picture of how you have your steering ram setup? I have the same ram and just getting started on mounting it. What brand rack it that? I see you have the sweet servo mounted directly to it, I have a saco rack and it has a male spline and so does the sweet servo.
