I put them on mine - Love them. Yes the bumper is thin, but the issue with the bumpers isn't them bending - they are more than strong enough to prevent that. The issue is them pulling away from the frame where they are welded on. These eliminate that problem, and support the full bottom square of the bumper - thus greatly increasing the strength and stability.
If your putting 600lbs of gear on your bumper - you want a different bumper (and perhaps your head examined), but if its a couple hundred pounds of bikes or gear, then no problem. I've had mine for 2 years - have 250lbs of gear on there all the time - about 25,000k and no issues.
