so I need a set up for front recovery, I mainly need some tow points for now.
I am mainly looking on input from the kits I see, that have the brackets to brace the front where the hooks connect to. Like what company/kit to look at and which ones to avoid?
My buddy has a kit from all things jeep, and he says it works pretty well.

thoughts? opinions?.

I used the C4x4 kit.  Worked fine, and it's still on the MJ.

hmm, I might go that route mainly for the steering box reinforcement it offers and the option to throw a winch on it later down the road... awesome thanks for the heads up on that.

Tree saver??...

I like how you re use your old bumper skins. If you can't weld I would say it's not bad for $300.
