Do you think a front frame brace, like the one linked to below is a good investment prior to installing a winch and aftermarket bumper? Have some steel laying around, and thought if it was a good idea, I'd whip one up. http://frontrangeoffroadfab.com/nfo...;osCsid=79f2ba1ab35bfadc065ef840a0766396 84 Ext. Cab Pickup.

Don't think that stock brace could hold up to too much winching. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> 84 Ext. Cab Pickup.

That's the strongest point. Of course, those of us with SAS trucks, don't get to use those bolt holes, so we have to improvise, but if you have access to them, I would use them.
