I'm sure you are, but try and brace the fenders since you tied the stinger to them. The tub will buckle slightly with just bumping a rock into the tube fenders. My tj did without the bumper tie in. Jeep looks good

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't freeze the fenders to the frame at the bottom and then again at the top to the coil over mounts that are mounted the frame and then tied in with the crossmember... Then brace them at the front too so they are attached in three places I think it should be plenty strong!
