They look good and it also looks like they build them where you could mount a winch in them or at least have a higher point to mount a removable winch. I didn't see where the company listed any specs? I wonder what thickness of steel they are using? If you are trying to save weight you may want to look at some aluminum bumpers.

Did you send back the Milemarker mount? Sorry it didn't work for you. I am still thinking about picking one up, just because I can't pony up $1000 + for a winch bumper...
