Curious if anyone knows the max tongue, and towing weight on a bumper with an attached reciever. ( I searched and came up with nothing)
I recently removed my severely rotted hitch, after taking it off I noticed I should have never used it for anything over 5lbs. I made new bumper brackets from 3/8 steel, welded a new cross section to my center section from my old hitch, cut square holes in the brackets to slide in the new cross section and "captured" it, welding it also. (Basically the same way a normal hitch is made) So after all that rambling, I just don't want to bend or tweak the bumper mounting area from towing my trailer which weighs approx. 1000 lbs. loaded, and approx 350 lbs. tongue weight.
I was also wondering if anyone could recommend using f150 or zj coils with the weight of a winch bumper. and last.......eh, I'll save that one for a new post. lol, thanks for your help.
