I need to know what size the bolt holes are on the new bumper where it bolts to my trucks hitch? It did not come with these and my old ones dont fit. I need them for extra support because i carry a cargo carrier on my hitch

The bolt holes that come with the bumper are small, I wouldn't trust them so I drilled and re-tapped to fit the original bolts from the manufacture. They are metric. Drill and tap before installation.

I used my existing brackets or you can purchase them separtely. The bumper did not come with the bolts and brackets. Mine were rusted so I had to purchase new ones.

If your original bumper mounting brackets are okay and not rusted out or bent up you probably won't need the brackets. My mounting brackets had rusted to where I could see through the holes in them. Also the original mounting bolts were rusted to where I had to cut them off with a cutting torch. The new brackets bolted right in place. I hope this helps. DC

My husbands truck measured 81" and these fir his fine. He did have to trim a little around the holes for the anchors but I had seen that that was an issue for someone else before I bought them so it wasn't that big of a deal. They measure a little short because there is also a piece you can buy that fits over the top rail, like these, that is the back part by the cab of the truck. I would contact Amazon or the seller directly if you need more help!

I use rubber bumper plates. The center hole is 2 inches in diameter. Pay close attention to that as many of the plates you'll see are 1 inch and fit smaller bars. The bumper plates also don't change in outside diameter. They're all the same diameter regardles of weight; the only thing that changes is their thickness.

I don't personally know of any bumper that the hitch's hole pattern or overall dimension fits exactly. It's a good, sturdy receiver and it comes with very substantial mounting bolts/hardware. When I centered the hitch on my step-bumper I had to drill 3 new holes in the receiver and 2 new holes in my step-bumper...about $50 in drill bits and a lot of hard drilling...but, after finally getting it all done, I'm happy with the end result and couldn't find anything else that would work any better or be as substantial.

If you are planning to mount the carriers to your rack's crossbars, you will have an issue with too much weight. They are similar to the crossbars on my 2002 Ford Taurus Wagon. The stock hardware will mount to a crossbar that is no more then 1-7/8" wide by about 1-1/4" deep. I priced aftermarket crossbars from Thule and Yakima and found them to be over $300. I ended up making my own that locked into the rack channels on each side of the roof. I used 1" black steel water pipe and used U-Bolts for the hardware. Unless you are willing to buy some crossbars or can fabricate them yourself, these are not the racks for you.

Trailer hitches come with 2 inch square and 1 1/4 inch square openings. This fits either size.

I have a Palomino trailer and it did not fit properly on the bumper. It was too big and wanted to bend the bumper. Hope this helps.

Hi Robin, I would need more info on the truck year, ext cab, quad cab etc. There is a drop down box to enter your vehicle info . This will help you determine what mounts you need or if these step bars will fit your truckSorry, I don't have further info. Good Luck if they will work you will love them, I do.

Bonnie, I used these steps to mount on the side of my truck bed to give me access to the area in front of, but behind the cab door. I had to fabricate the mounts, the the step was my choice because of the sturdy construction and serrated step. I would think that they will fit your truck as they had a lot of adjustment capacity built into the hardware. Best of luck !

Had to move the top bracket back a little and drill new holes. When I put this hitch in my truck. I took airbags off put the hitch in then put airbags back on. They sit back just a little on top of hitch bracket drilled holes though hitch and frame. Had to have little bit longer bolt than what came with the airbags. And mine are the Firestone airbags

I don't know what size bumper it has or if the bumper is strong enough to hold whatever you plan to carry. It's always recommended to contact the trailer manufacturer to determine if you can attach a bumper hitch to any make, model of trailer.

The answer is up to you. They are not that long, so they are great for trucks with tool boxes. What I did was centered them in the space remaining between the tool box and the tailgate - making sure they looked centered over the rear wheels. Drilled my holes, and there you go - mounted. They look excellent. These items are 51" from tip to tip, so make sure that works for you - and that the mounting holes don't end up over the stake holes in the bed. Keep in mind Westin makes rails that are longer - going up in about 4" increments. I hope this helps

It will fit any truck with a standard hitch receiver. If you don't know, a hitch receiver is the square and usually empty object below the rear bumper. The only problem is if there is a ball attachment already in the receiver then there is no place for the step since the hole is already occupied. Wasn't much use for my 2013 F150 since the step doesn't come out far enough to clear the open tailgate.

I would return them and get the ones that fit specifically for your truck. They all mount in certain positions and you should just wait for the new ones to come in!

I did not have to cut a hole. The plastic below the bumper is already open where the tow hooks go. It is the same plastic piece used on four wheel drives which typically come with tow hooks already installed. My truck is a 2011 Silverado crew cab.
