The B&M mounts inside to the stock aluminum bar that comes up in the bottom of tbe belly. And has two stronger mount positions on the upper over-assembly. I think if i hit something really hard, the lower stock mount position would be the weak or buckleing point. Id think it woyld push down or up, hopefully causing less damage than if it crumbled in...
Either way, good price, looks good, and is definitely more functional than OEM
