    Hey everyone.

    I'm looking to purchase a new rear bumper for my truck. I currently have an ebay bumper on my truck right now, but everytime I use the shackles on the bumper I end up pulling the bumper out. Any recommendations on strong HD bumpers that can withstand a beating/recovery? Im mostly looking for a HC bumper, so if somebody makes a strong HC bumper, I'm interested! Thanks.

    What do you mean pulling the bumper out, did you mean pulling it off or is it moving outwards from the mounts? :notsure:

    How many bolts is it mounted to the frame?

    Oh look, another mod....
    If this is actually happening, then you didn't mount it properly to your truck.

    I believe it's just bending the bumper out. It's mounted by 2 half inch bolts on each side of the bumper.

    Have you tried not getting stuck? :cookiemonster:

    The other alternative is to get yourself a hitch recovery shackle. The hitch should be able to take more abuse than a bumper face.

    I haven't thought about that one haha. A hitch mounted shackle would also work!

    I do not. After I bent it out I backed into a tree on purpose to bend it back in. Looks good as new, just want a tougher bumper
