As said before, I would go to the hardware store and get from Grade 8's and go from there.

Here you go, yes you will need to snake the bolts throught the brace. Usually use a wire around the threads and pull it through the mounting holes. Good luck.

The big tube bar rear cross member is what it attaches too, plus the bumper of course. My Putco is the same as that OEM one.
