Good question! It was one of our original ideas to be able to incorporate shackle mounts similar to an ARB type bumper to make this 'competitive' with steel bull bars in terms of features. I think that the first unit probably wont have shackle provisions, but if it is deemed strong enough, we can drill holes in the upright sections for them and make a (aluminum?) grommet so that it doesnt just tear through the composite under load.

I am hoping that shackle mounts will be feasible because I have used them on my current bumper a lot and they are an awesome feature to have.
