I agree, that is one of the newer type brackets and has several mounting points to spread out the force. I doubt you would have any difficulties with it.
The old type just slid into the stock bracket and relied on the welds from the factory to hold it in place, with a longer moment arm... Turns out that wasn't such a hot idea.
It has since been readdressed by a lot of companies.
TeraFlex, Currie, JKS all have substantially improved brackets available now. Some require welding, IMO it is a good idea to have it burned in.

I had learned ftom JKS that even with adjustable trac bars on lower lifts that the bracket was breaking off still and that is what worried me. I wanted to see if there was anyone here on the forum that would have experienced this or even heard of such a thing. I too have heard of the higher lifys happening to them due to the extension brackets but no to the BB's .
