Good luck with yours but it's a garentee that it will bend both with that tower to tower brace. Not to mention it breaks the diff housing also. Stick with the mc2 brace if it's in your budget
Appreciate the advice for sure. I've seen breakages both ways so not sure there is any conclusive evidence against it or not. If i get screwed over by running it i'll likely remove it and try the mc2 braces.
I've ran tower to towers on my past few vehicles and had really good luck. On my MT410 the bumpers also tie into the tower brace (which is thinner aluminum so not crazy burly anyway). I've landed almost every which way from 30-80 foot airs and haven't had any damage at all except a couple broken bumpers (stock and t-bone) and broken stock chassis brace at the upper mounting point. Who knows what else would have bent or broken had there been no tower to tower, possibly a diff case but hard to speculate? The brace also helps save my bodies on the trucks bigtime which is an added bonus.
