Shoulda got the real deal, huh?
Had to bag on ya buddy.
Through are testing we have found that what bends is the D shaped bracket that attaches the bumper/ skidplate, to the shock tower. The brace does not hold up the body. What Jake needs to replace comes in the front bumper kit #9816. We tested this with and without the brace and the D shaped bracket bent no matter what. It sounds like Jake took a pretty big hit to bend the bracket, but at least it saved his chassis.
