Since adding some extra weight to my rear bumper I figured I'd add some support. ordered these off ebay.

I've got something similar on mine. The tire carrier is pretty heavy with the full size spare, and I've towed some pretty heavy stuff for short distances. No problems at all.

I should probably get some for pulling more F250's out of the sand.

Made a set of another Jeep, cheaper to buy them.

I thought the idea of the double bend by the weld at the frame and crossmember area was a good idea compared to the rest of the manufacturers. I've not gotten them yet but I'm not sure I like the idea of the through frame bolts without mention of a sleeve to prevent frame crush.

Weld them to the frame bolt them to the bumper, or sleeve them, issue solved...

They shouldn't bolt thru the frame only to one side. The nuts should have a tab on them to reach inside and stop them from spinning while tightening.
