If I pull, you can see that plate flexing up and down with the force where the winch is pulling.

Yeah it snowed but it was about 33 or 34 here on the ground so it was melting as it fell. Supposed to stay below freezing all night and some more rain so there may be some snow on the ground.
Sorry Gary, I didn't want to mess with getting bolts and washers and stuff to do a test fit. I did do a photoshop test fit
The cut in the plate goes on either side of the vertical support of the body/radiator support. The bracket-to-guard holes make it seem like it will point down some. I think its just since they're separated, it makes it hard to judge angles. I'll get a test fit on some time this week though

I don't have any firsthand experience with another brand of grill guard so I can't say if it's stronger than another. I would like to add some more supports to the upper bumper mount though

Loved your truck without one, now your talking about getting gaytezzas and installed the grille guard.
