I know what you are talking about. they are meant to be used for recovery, but I would choose one with the recovery points in line with the frame (down low by the winch fairlead). when the recovery points are up high next to the light bar, they act like a lever and the bumper can get pulled down or away from where it normally sits.

Install will probably be only slightly easier or the same, and would look cleaner with the hidden mount. But you'll be getting close to the cost of a lo-pro bumper with both of those
The bolded has been discussed to death so not going into it again other than to say it's not true.

Hardest part for me is pulling the trigger on the expense... Don't know how many times i put on in a shopping cart, just to close out the window. In my case it's more of a want, not necessarily a need.
