FYI, Hooke caters to the mall crawl crowd and makes cost conscious products that are for aesthetic purposes only. I wouldn't count on that bumper to do anything more then stop a snow flake.
THe Tube hoops are .06" thick or 1.5mm, which is tent pole thick. 3mm is roughly 1/8" thick and should...
I have a pair of rock krawler +3" rear springs for sale that will get you back up again.
The longer spring will give you a little more preload to hold up you heavy back end.

There is a handy you tube video out there.
If FCA can hang around long enough and prevent strikes. You know it's not good when main stream media is now reporting on how bad FCA royally screwed up.

When these guys get shut down and...
