I toasted my stocker yanking it outta some mud that had me burried real deap. Took a fullsize bowtie and a Cherokee tugging at the same time to get me out. The stock one ended up looking like a nasty bannana by the end of the tugging.
So I took a trip to the metal shop to browse some C-channel. Really I wanted some 7" structural channel but they didn't carry any so I was forced to chose between 6 & 8". 6" is the perfect size for a liscense plate so I went with that. I boxed the ends and curved them inward to match the contour of the bottom of the bed.
I mounted it using three bolts per side(Two in shear and one in tension.) Hopefully that should be enough to do all the yanking I want. The C channel is just over 8lbs per feet. All together its at least 50lbs.
