I don't think it will hurt to add some diamond plate. But 3/4" steel is a little much. Lol.

Flat plate in the right spots adds a lot of strength. Hell my rear diff cover is made of dimand plate. Strong as hell, it has stopped my pickup more than once. Lol.

Lol thats kind of how my rear bumper is. It doesn't make the truck squat, but it is RIDICULOUSLY heavy. Especially with the 1/2"+ mounting plates that I put on it after I bent/broke the old mounts. I used a large jack and my bud to get it on. With a couple giant bolts to hold it to the truck. My frame will break in half before my bumper does.

I'm currently running on no insurance. My daily driver's insurance expired and I haven't renewed it, and now that it broke down i'm not sure I should lol.

And my $90 car isn't worth insuring. Although i'm slightly afraid i'm going to lose a tire and i'll get slapped with some huge fines lol.
