Looks like I'm going to try those cheap Amazon turnbuckles that were posted, two from the bumper beam and two from the headlight supports, and I'll use wellnuts to attach to some open cavities in the subframe at the back. Going to get some fender washers for all the attachment points. I'll update when I get it attached. I hoping for "stand-on-it" strength.

No one is concerned about what happens when the splitter rubs the ground or curbs under braking? All these solutions are ultra rigid in tension and compression. Wouldn't a cable style solution be ideal?

What about the potential for unloading the front suspension? Or just breaking the fancy turnbuckles?

My wood splitter touches a certain apex all the time. Zero problems. I prefer wood splitter over anything tbh. So much cheaper and lasts longer imo.

potential for anything is possible, in my experience though, its fine.

I agree with everything Singh_snisen said
