Default EVO D-Ring Frame Mounts

So I am thinking about dropping my rear bumper, and adding some of the evo d-ring rear frame mounts. First off, I would like to know if anyone is running these without huge tires. All the pictures I have seen are on massive rigs, so I am hesitant on how good it would look with smaller tires, and a less elaborate rig. I have 33's now and am probably gonna move up to 35's soon. How do you think this would look. Any pictures someone may have?
Also, I was thinking of maybe fabricating a piece of steel or aluminum to clean up the whole back crossmember, and go straight across. Any thoughts on this.
Thanks

I run them with 35s, they would look fine with 33s.

Well- sorta. I run without a rear bumper, and soon will have the rings... I am on stock Rubi tires, then going to 33's VERY soon.

Not a great photo, and some bedlined filling is in the works- it looks unfinished with the gaping frame holes and factory tow hook... but better than a faded and mangled rear bumper. And I always am loading my 2 door down with camping gear food and drinks for 4 plus our kids and recovery gear, can see adding MORE weight.

Did EVO ever release these for the 2010-2012 models? Last time I checked they hadn't.

I think I'm going to get them
Anyone ever think about chopping the OE bumper, bedlining it, and fitting it right between the hooks. I saw a pic somewhere with this setup and I'm on the fence with it.
Any other thoughts.
