How are you guys mounting these? Are they only custom brackets? I searched and could only find custom made. Also will the honcho crossmembers with the holes work? |

You can make them fit the Honcho crossmembers with some mods, I used some angle aluminum to mount mine. I ran them for about two days before I broke them off of the truck. I didn't like them because they are kinda Narrow for the Honcho body.

They look cool and all, but they'll kill your approach/departure angles and the D rings will snap like twigs. Just my experience, yours may vary .

Just looking at badgers custom bracket. Sure you lose a bit of clearance but very little, and most bumpers do. And this won't be for comp. crawling. Looks easy enough. Was just wondering if there's a part I was missing that the post could just like right into. |

I'm not sure what I'll do about the back. Unless I trim the body and lower it, the gap is way to big. Body |

That is a sweet body, you do nice paint work. IMO though you need to lower the body a good bit, I am not a fan of seeing a gap above the frame rail when viewed from the side. I wouldn't think it would take too much wheelwell trimming to get that body to sit about an inch lower, and still have room for flex.
