In answer to the bolt question...

Yes, The shock has an optional hole located further along the frame horn...and you just slide a bolt through it to get an extra mount point. The frame itself doesn't have another hole anywhere though, so you just use the bumper mount holes as a guide, and drill through the frame, and THEN slide the bolt through.

I like to use Grade 8 hardware for all of that....and locktite for the threads....but I didn't, because it was getting dark, and I wanted to play with the winch, as I had other X's over, etc.



Mine's been fine w/o it. I did torque the bolts, and they've never slipped, despite my, um, unique style in the rocks.
