MOUNTING:
To improve the strength of the mounting system, we use extra angle-forms that bolt through the lower frame-rail flange. These forms fasten with four 9/16" grade 8 bolts; rest assured, they are securely attached to the frame. The bumper mount plates have four holes; two of these attaching at the stock point, the other two anchoring the bumper to the lower frame-rail angle-forms. Also included are provisions for retaining the stock Ford backup sensors (if so equipped) in (close to) stock locations. Although it is usually necessary to remove the stock trailer hitch, we've integrated a 2" receiver into the double-drawbar which, although not officially rated, has proven to be more than a match for anything the Super Duty is rated for. And like the stock hitch, the bumper's mounting struts extend far forward, spreading the load up the frame rail
