A lot of good suggestions in here. I currently have the PSC Brawler Lite myself, but if I were to do it again I would go with the Genright aluminum as posted by Danny.

Jay - looks sweet but betting that pro link gets whacked good. I smashed my shackles good in Moab.

Thanks for the info.  It came with the winch. I'll figure something out for it.

I think the new Poison Spyder BFH rear has a new cross member. Don't know if it will work w EVO stuff or not.

The PS BFH has a better approach angle/slide system as everything is on the same plane - shackle mounts are angled up - and theoretically it should slide you up a ledge till the tire bites.  VKS's and TNT's shackle mounts and fairlead hang down and don't do this.  Watch Larry's explanation on youtube if that doesn't make sense.

Perfect solution for me would be a PS BFH with Trail Stinger/Tabs/fog light holes cut and mounts added.


I agree with that paragraph. Thats the only reason I'm torn about the VKS. Its between the PS BFH trail stinger and the VKS because of the Tab locations and I want to run a pro link factor 55 which i feel would just get smashed when putting the the VKS to its paces, I haven't run in to a situation where I would potentially smash the front bumper straight on, on the trail, but I feel I'm building it much bigger as I go so I want to plan for the extreme.
