I really like that... how much further down does it protrude more than the OEM hooks?
Hey RynoRanger, After multiple test with 6065 and 7075 we took the weight of the Bronco (3400-5000lbs) into consideration, we decided to go with 7075 due to the higher load capacity and the fact that it is substantially harder than 6061, we tried making the best possible design/angle so that it slides down most rocks if necessary, if you notice the OEM loops, they hang downward and seem to snag much easier onto sharper edged rocks is what we noticed, we also wanted to eliminate the users soft shackle from being jammed between the hoop and the terrain, and possibly being cut by the terrain, friction and whatever it could snag onto.

That response was helpful TYVM. I’m not a SERIOUS rock crawler but nearly every trail I’ve been on in Phoenix/AZ area I’ve probably grinded those on something at one point in a ride. I’m still on stock ride-height badlands so that’s why but I still think I’d be good with these for quite a while. I do love the context of the soft shackle and how it’s protected vs the OEM ring, that’s a good selling point you guys should make sure is well known in marketing material.
What's that spare tire reinforcement? Looks great!Pics of mine installed.
That's the stock spare tire mount on the Bronco Raptor
