Please keep like threads together, there is no reason to start your own thread when there is one that has been established as long as the wesite has been around and its a sticky.

How much flex are you 3rd gen guys getting out of this setup? I built a rack nearly identical to this and was a little leary about putting more than 500lbs on it. I'm still not 100% sure it's not going to break.

Do you see any flexing with your rack? My rack itself isn't flexing, it's the actual tow hook/bumper mounts flexing. I can see the area between the bumper and the grille moving.

I probably wont be happy until I mount a front hitch and run a brace down to it.

I run the same set up on my truck for 4 years now and the bumper doesent line up at all any more on the drivers side. I have to readjust it afterevery pull if I want it to look good. This year I'm comming up with something new. I think it's going to be made out of and westrn ultra mount snow plow frame. and then when the bar is off you wont notice it.
 
heres what I have so far. made out of a western plow mount
