The front bumper is the weaker of the 2. The front is made from 1/8 wall steel and the mount is a piece of 1/8 plate on each side of the frame. I've lifted it using a high lift and hit it a bunch of times wheeling. Still holding strong.
I did pull the tow hooks that were bolted onto the bumper (with the mount bolts) and made 1" thick d-ring shackle mounts.
The rear bumper is 3/16 wall tubing and the mount is 3/16" thick plate but it is only on 1 side of the frame (its not boxed). The shackle mounts are 7/8" thick and are welded to the 3/16" bumper/frame mount.
All of the tubing is 2x3" square tubing...
I made this style since "my thinking" is if I can get a tire on it, I can climb it. I don't want the bumper to stop my tire from getting to an obstacle.
My rear with a swing out tire carrier and Jerry-can holder.
Needs more dirt.
