Looks like a good bit of kit. Great to see rated recovery points.

What else gets damaged when you test these things to the extreme.

Solid bit of kit however do require you to run there bash plates same as ARB. Personally I wouldn't want to go that deep in mud to put a shackle on it, they are very far under the front. I saw a BT with the ARB one on it last weekend in Mar and hooking up a snatch strap with 4.7t shackle was a nightmare to get to and then the shackle didnt fit due to clearance with the bashplates, this was a mock recovery too with 2 blokes lying on their back to get to it.

Roadsafe are rated mate at 5000kg per point, however do stipulate in the product guide to use a bridle strap to even the load over both chassis rails. Which you should anyway.

I just ordered a pair of the ironman ones this morning. Can't beat that price and they confirmed on the phone that they still fit if you have one of their bars. Many of the other ones won't fit.
Also not a fan of the central mount ones. Have seen them on other 4wds and they all seem to be so far under the car. Would be a nightmare trying to get to it to connect the shackle to if bogged in the front.
