I romped on mine last week for the Jambo.  Caught a little bit of air and bottomed out my front shocks a lot.  The towers are still on there with no gussets at all.

I didn't even eld them on lol.  One of my dad's buddies did a couple years ago.  The welds don't look that great but they obviously are holding up.  I am running Rancho 5012's (12 inchers i think) on mine and i max out my shock.  I didn't want to cut into the fenderwell so we cut down the mount about 2 inches.  I have buddies that cut into the fenders and are running Rancho 5034's which are i think 14 inchers.
