They were the bolts supplied with the bumper...I dont understand...and the bumper bent downwards...Another Nexterra member almost had the saem thing happen to him while getting towed but his horns started to bow and looked like the bolts were bending out...Why is htis happening? any ideas...by the way I believe my frame horns are destroyed now and I may have to go the welding route...Not happy
This is why I ended up buying the TJM.

While most bumpers only connect to the horns:


The TJM has a piece of 3/8" plate which connects the brackts to the frame tiedowns:



It may not look like much in this picture, but it is a beefy piece.

In my opinion, this results in much less stress on the frame horns.
