The main problem with mounting to both the bumper and the roof rack is that the body/roof is floating on the frame and bumper would be solid mounted to the frame. Despite these frames being fully boxed, the frame itself still does flex a decent amount relative to the body. This would lead to a fatigue failure of the roof mounts of the rack fairly shortly.

As far as profile, depends on where you're wheeling. Any extra gizmos on the side are generally gonna be tree snaggers in the midwest and east, but out west you'd be fine
