Nice part about these brackets is that it incorporates a new heavy duty steering box brace.

Any idea how much pulling they can safely take?

Here are the drivers side pieces and the finished result.
I would imagine that the shackles (4 3/4 ton) are the limiting factor in the load limit, these things are pretty heavy duty.

Looks awesome.. I was looking at the setup IRO (http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IROR&Product_Code=IR-XTHM)has for the front of mine, until I get an aftermarket bumper that is... figure it will double as some added strength and support for the front end as well...
