Does anyone think these brackets will work with my smittybilt dual tube bumper. It mounts by a steel plate shaped similarly to the oem bumper mounts. I just dont wanna blow money on sumthing that wont work.
Thanks in advance.

The mounts look promissing, if they mount to the sides of the frame, but how does your Smitty built bumper mount? Will there be room enoough to get 3/8 (3/16 each side) of material between the bumper mounts? Or another way would be run them on the outside of the bumper mounts & still tie them into the frame. They definately look better than just using the 3 stock bolt pattern

It mounts with a 3/16" plate that ties into the three bumper bolt holes. I'm sure that the bracket wont fit inbetween the frame rail and the bumper mount. But if i put it on the outsie should i use a few washers on the holes that dont have the bumper mount between it and the frame? THanks for the help

Like I said 3/16 x 2. 3/16 left side & 3/16 right side = total 3/8

Yes

Looks like they may be long enough to tie into the winch mount anchor hole also. Just drill out the plates, if not done so already. I would call & get the Dim's & measure it out. Might also ask if it's already drilled to use the winch mount hole.

I'm not sure how the smitty mounts, but those brackets mount to the bottom of the frame, not the sides. So if your bumper has plates on the outsides of the frame rail only, my hooks will not interfere.

I would definately check that out. Looking at the top portion, it looks like they mount on the side, because you have the 3 triangle pattern. Definately give them a call.

Well, in that case they sound even more apealing. Thanks for that info I'll be ordering a set in the next few days.
