Reminds me of the last thing the guys at the welding shop said to me. "The rear end of the truck will get ripped off before this bumper does."

You mentioned twisting. I used my bumper this weekend and pulled from the center hitch with Chuck's receiver tow hook. Mainly because I want to distribute the load as much as possible. Also I was on a muddy section between trees and didn't want the stock truck I was pulling up to slide me into them.

I have two D-rings on each side, but I'll probably use them in specific situations that require off angle pulls. When I did damage to my door getting extracted all I could think about is if I had that damn bumper sitting in my garage I could have gotten out (It still had the short inserts and I was waiting to fix it).
