I was considering fabing up some mounts for clevises that used the rear bumper mounts for attachment and then extending them through the factory bumper. Does this sound like a good/safe/strong enough idea? Has anyone done anything like this before.

i used 1/4X2X10 flat and welded a Big daddy's D-ring holder to it and mounted it to the frame rail at the hitch then thru my bumper all welded together.

Excuse me but your bumper seems a little wide

That thing has hips like my ex girlfriend

Just how far does your rear bumper stick out on the side?

the same as factory bumper, it has 2X2 like the front one to protect the sides and give a place to jack from.

Do you have a trailer hitch on your Jeep? I had the biggest hitch you could get installed, cause I had a buddy that worked at U-haul, paid for a class 1 and got the big boy instead, but, if you do, I used the Warn reciever plug and clevis. That thing is more than strong enough and only runs about $45. Just an idea to throw out.

For shackle Mounts I use Rokmen's (Rokmen.com ) $10 each + shiping

and you can weld on both sides of the bumper

Here is what I was thinking about doing for a front bumper... take the 1/4 steel plate frame mount and punch it all the way through the bumper welded on both sides. Then weld more 1/4 inch plate through the bumper only not attach it to the frame. I will space these two protruding pieces of 1/4 plate at the same width as the inside of the D ring. I think this will work well as there will be a solid piece of steel between the tow point and the Frame.
