• We're not sure at this time if Gearbox braces will play nice, but they should.
• OEM sway bar might not fit.
• Not all winches fit. Check the below list.
• Crossmember kit is a "Weld in kit" so be aware of that.
• Upper Center section internal bracing doubles as a light mount rail.

Thuren really pushed the envelope with their 1994-2002 2nd Gen Bumper! The 2nd Gen frame has the weakest bumper mounting area we've ever seen, so there was no way we were going to bolt a respectable bumper on these trucks, while using only the OEM mounting locations.

When you take the weight of the truck into consideration, any bumper bolted to the OEM 2nd Gen mounting point is just cosmetic, and in no way can truly protect the truck. We designed our 2nd Gen bumper to cradle under the frame, which triangulates the mounting making it 5x stronger than stock.

Below are details explaining the bumper components and what's included:

MAIN CRADLE

• This is the base foundation of the bumper. It cradles the entire lower frame front section going all the way back to the Sway bar frame mounts while also creating a skid plate to help protect internal components. We designed it this way to add height and triangulation to the assembly so that if/when you take a hit to the front of the bumper, everything is supported and won't easily fold back and damage every component mounted to the core support.
• The Cradle Base is the main game changer regarding our 2nd Gen bumper design. We are offering this cradle by itself, for people that want to finish fabricating their own bumper off of this foundation. A tube bumper built off this cradle would be great!
• All supplied cradles are the same, so they also include the Shackle Mounts, knock-out plate for a winch Fairlead (you need to drill for a Fairlead bolt holes if you want one), vent/access holes, and the winch bolt pattern on the underside if you want to add our Weld-In Crossmember kit.

WELD IN WINCH CROSSMEMBER

• Our crossmember will allow you to fit the more compact winches in the same high approach angle bumper. Very "Power Wagon esque." You are not going to fit a big spool 16.5k Warn or 25K winch.
• As welding/fab jobs go, the weld in crossmember is a process. One vertical cut through each side of the OEM crossmember, clean off the paint, tack new crossmember in place, final weld around each end, paint, and done.
• This crossmember also bolts to the bumper cradle, which creates an even more bomb proof combo! We recommend tacking the crossmember in place with the center Main Cradle bolted up for alignment.

Examples of winches that fit:

• Sherpa Steed 17k with 28m spool
• Warn M8000, 9.5XP-S
• Harbor Freight ZXR 12k

UPPER CENTER

• If you wanted to build your own tube outers, the lower Cradle plus the upper is also a great place to build from!
• Upper center can hold a 30" light bar or 6 pod lights.
