The B&M is where it is. As said above, the cross bar front adds a lot of rigidity. Yes you have to remove the pipe but that is a super easy project even on the boost. The hardest part is probably lining up the panel brackets and installing them LOL. The rear is stronger as well, as mentioned they have a angle on the bottom and the use a series of bolts and rivets for the install. It takes more time to install the rear than the front IMO but both are worth it.
