The misalignment is not ideal but is exacerbated by the cradles which they don't support for this kit (see my other post just now). I will say that the mounting brackets and hooks are very solid. I have zero concerns about how the mounts are connected to the vehicle.
Long post, but this is my review from a year of use with cradles and stock Badlands non-sas suspension. ~15k miles this past year. Probably ~4000 of that towing a 3500# trailer.
When I'm towing, these are great at ~20 PSI and def support the hitch load level and feel planted. When hitting a big...
Got these installed this evening with cradles, non-sas badlands. The misalignment from top to bottom (as shown even in their promotional video) makes it so that the bag does not reseat into the cradle, since it is not connected by nature it will not kink back.... Can't say I recommend this yet...
I have a set assembled waiting to go on my non-sas badlands to help when we tow near the rated limit, which we do often. I bought the lower cradles from airlift that say they are compatible with most of their kits. Hopefully will get them on soon.

Sorry for the delay. I put the 3 degree skew into the CAD drawing. SCS will just ask for material and thickness and finish. I did mild steel 0.250" with matte black powder coat.
As far as adding more depth for larger lights, you'd want to move the mounting hole slot out based on your...
They do have that (overly large) bolt. As it is, the nut on the bottom of that has to be turned with a open ended wrench because it's so close to the bumper that a socket can't fit over.
To do the 6-LED pod though, I'd be concerned that the depth of the light may push the connector plug into...
I was looking for modular bumper light brackets, but after finding mostly bad reviews for several different $150 versions I figured I'd just SendCutSend a couple and share with you all if it worked.
These are the lights I was gifted...
Chiming in here with what I learned installing a 2 door rack on my 4 door. As stated above, 2 door and 4 door are nearly identical except the rear cross bar length. The 2 door's is shorter. @flattops photo shows a 4 door rack onto a 2 door. Here is what a 2 door rack looks like on a 4 door. Not...
