I have you looked at jefe4x4's pictures on here? Happijac tie downs on trails most would never consider. I have a modern truck with Happijac front and rear and go off road every camping trip without any bending of my bumper. No getting under the truck to install, no rusting brackets, and no loss of ground clearance for me like the Torklifts. I have a few Torklift products and love the quality, but my Happijac's have also been great.
I went to Baja with jefe's brother and his back bumper was permanently smiling at me the whole trip. I have had BOTH types of tie-downs on my Outfitter and currently run Happijacs but my truck's rear bumper is a Buckstop so no bending worrys at all. It took a Lexus SUV going 60mph to bend my front bumper.
