i can try to get some. he bumper is coming back off soon, for a bracket replacement. ill see if i can get some today. its gonna be warm, but warmth, means mud, and i have a dirt driveway.

all you need to do is bolt a bracket to the receiver hitch. it doesnt bolt to the frame at all.

gonna bump this thread up.

i never did get around to making stronger brackets. dont have access to a welder, nor the material to make new ones.

original brackets broke at the bend, so the bumper is now back off the truck.

i have contacted wh1t3nukle and have asked for his help on making new ones.

I have made my own brackets using the original brackets from the old bumper, I did how ever make a couple of brackets that I welded to the frame.

I welded a big nut on the top of the hitch and have a bolt the size of the hole for the ball on the bumper that holds it up aswell it is not going any where, I will get pics when I change out my bed in a couple of weeks

I've got some decent pics and idea of what RNR wants. Just gotta figure when I can get something done in this heat.

I'm hoping to mess with it some tomorrow. It's still damn hot, but I ended up giving a go at making a cart for the welder and tools.
