That's kind of a loaded question. If the conditions are right, you can break anything.
I can tell you it will hold up better than the carbon piece.

Looks like a good option, another one working great is a stock bumper off any M sled. Rivets right on easily, and the longer thicker sides give a lot of additional strength without much additional weight, and its cheap, and you can get different colors. Good for lifting, strong enuff to tow someone and its not ridiculously slippery to hang onto. Looks good also.
I checked out the Holz rear bumper at the Puyallup show, very nice quality piece. It looks good and the knurled portions are a great idea.
I will be getting one as soon as I finish installing the Holz console vents I picked up at the show.

I believe 09, 10, or 11. One of the benefits is the arms go so much further down the sides allowing more fastening points...more additional strength. To me one of the issues with the stock bumper is it is so short on sides and the Pro tunnel is quite prone to twisting on the end anyway, the Cat bumper give the tunnel way more resistance to that, whether just lifting or towing. it also allows you to use a hitch, we've pulled a lot of weight and the hitch tunnel and bumper had no issues.
Are you positive that the older bumpers work? I was told I needed an 2012 bumper which I was told was $230?????? Whereas the older ones are about $60, so I hope your correct.
Here is a good post on that Cat bumper, he has good pic's of it so you can see how it looks.
