The angled piece is 1/4 in plate so if you damage it you will probally break your back from the impact of the hit.
Yes we have the patterns to make more so it is covered.

JP also has a 3" BL but wanted to keep the bumper low for other reasons. We could make one for a 1 or 2 inch body lift also by modifying the channel that slides into the frame horns. I've got some pics of it done and primed I'll upload later.

Here are some pics from today ... capped the end tubes, added the lower brace tubes, and did some filling/grinding on the very front where the winch plate ties to the 1/4" steel plate. It's primed and waiting on JP to get it this Thursday.

Note... I went a little crazy with the flap disc on the top trying to clean it up and the primer makes that stand out. Some flat black paint or Rustoleum "Hammer" paint will hopefully hide it.

There's room to reach behind the bumper to get the hitch pin in. That's how mine is and I like it because 1. it keeps it from sticking out and killing the approach angle and 2. less likely for someone to steal the receiver shackle.

Git-r-done! Looks like you got it off and didn't damage the ears too bad either. It may take a little work with a pry bar to stretch the ears if it doesn't slide in, but nothing you can't handle.
