What can you get to stop you catching the rear wings behind the wheels, sort of reshaped mine at the weekend.
I know you can get checkerplate to bolt on but that isnt really strong enough, need a tube bumper arrangement thing, anyone seen one?

Cut them off higher up,
so it runs straight to the back of the truck, as opposed to curving down and getting bent

really well, 2-1 to me, mine doesnt count as I soaked the coil, was going again 5 minutes later ;)

I really want a tube bumper to run back under the wing from the x member and in to the chassis in an L shape

I've never seen anything like that; I think you'll have to fabricate it. Don't make it too rigid - I know someone who has bent their rear crossmember because the rear corner protector (like the Scorpion type) was too strong and transmitted the load to the chassis.

you need something like these. i want some as i have bent my rear wing on one side. a few places do them, Rebel4x4 (http://www.rebel4x4.co.uk), North offroad (http://www.northoffroad.co.uk/products.asp) etc.... i think scorpion do them too.

they wouldnt have worked, the front edge needs to go to the chassis for strength
