anyone installed these and ever found any "stress" cracks around the holes through your frame? i understand that the front bracket gets Bolted to your frame? drilling 2 or 3 holes through my frame scares me a bit. looking for any feed back on this? thanks

 

let me guess? nobody has these installed on there 1st 2nd or 3rd gens?

 

I put a set of tuff country ladder bars on mine and had to drill 4 1/2" holes in my frame on each side. Had them on there for a couple of years and have done some fourwheeling and off roading and flexing with them and so far so good. No cracks in the frame.

 

sweet Blue...was very concernd that drilling my frame was both a and stressing the frame. come to think of it, my buddy said....drill 1" holes and sleeve it to reduce the stress ?? nah i will just drill the holes like DC doesn't want you to..LOL thanks for the help..
