This bumper has great reviews, but in all of the photos, I cannot see provisions for safety chains/cables for towing. Does it have that provision?

And after reading it again I look stupid. Yes it has a 2 spots to hook up on the bumper. But the swinging gate will swing around on a downhill.

No! And I put a nice dent in my quarter panel when relying on the stud to hold the gate on a down hill. Weld a chain on it and it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes they are next to the receiver. And after about a year I still love the bumper and I do use the receiver and safety hooks.

But the one that has D ring attachments, and you can hook the chain to that.

The bumper has two welded attachment points that accept 3/4" d-rings (shackles)

The bumper comes with all the brackets and hardware but without the hitch that Amazon advertise. I was very disapointed because I had to order the hitch from Smittybilt and pay $99.99 more. The hitch also comes with brackets and hardware. I also had to drill new holes to fit it in my 1977 CJ7 Golden Eagle.

not sure what Safety's bumper guards look like. The Prince guards work well and are inconspicuous enough.

No, that current picture is wrong, google search the part number, winch would fit on top with an added winch plate, doesn't come with hooks either. Good bumper though.

There are multiple threaded holes in back to accommodate most all ball heights, it's just an anti rattle anyhow, you won't here anything while your towing if you don't use it. It's a good hitch, don't let the anti rattle stop you from buying it.

I am not sure of the rating but I know I had pulled a stuck Grand Cherokee WJ out of the mud pretty hard. The whole bumper is mounted to brackets that are then bolted through the uni-body frame ends. I would say that you should be okay to tow 5,000 lbs with the correct setup.

Hmmm...do it yourself if possible. U will need a buddy to lift bumper/winch. But if not possible, make sure installers are careful with bending back AC Line (and i would use split wire looming to protect line from chafing). Next make sure the frame tie ins are installed so the winch bumper can't be pulled down and away from the frame under heavy winch operation.

The only Roadmaster towbar that includes safety cables is the Sterling A/T. The Falcon 2 does not. The standard safety cables are part #643 by Roadmaster

I bought these suspension bumpers as a study of what i needed for a Chevy Suburban front end. I still have them new in the box. They weren't suited to my need. These do require a hole in the frame for bolt thru. The bumpers I needed were not available through Amazon, but GMParts Direct, Winston Salem, NC. Good luck. A GM dealer may still have what you need. My '01 Suburban was too old for the local Chevy dealer to stock the suspension parts.

I'm guessing here, but installing this on a trailer that is itself being towed would change the dynamics of a trailer and its safe operation behind your vehicle. That is to say, trailers are typically not designed for or meant to be a tow vehicle themselves. So the company is probably stating the obvious, and doing so for liability reasons as well as thinking about the safety of you and others around you.

Hi,You may use the accessories from your stock bumper to complete and install this rear bumper on your pickup. Sorry installation instructions are not included, we recommend to have someone professional help you during installation.

No, stock factory bumpers will not support a winch or the forces involved with a recovery operation. Depending on what you drive there may be options to keep your stock bumper and add in winch support frames/skeletons that will hold a winch and withstand the forces involved but keep a relatively looking stock bumper intact. I run one such system on my Jeep XJ. It's called the Detours USA Backbone bumper system. Do yourself a favor and buy an actual winch bumper or support. Even Wranglers require some kind of support plate to support a winch.

This hitch is part of a vehicles towing package and is not part of the carrier. If you are putting it on an RV or something with an older style metal bumper there is a receiver you can install to be used instead of the hitch.

I don't know if the Reese holes line up, but the Harbor Freight and some others definitely don't. If you have a heavy trailer/load, the bumper may bend. I bumped a tree in reverse and twisted mine so I reinforced it with extra steel bracing.

Where it is mounted does not matter; it does need to be protected from damage,. Can you still have it reasonably protected where you will mounted? (protected from rock/debris strikes & vandalism) If so, attaching to the bumper should be fine.

You'll either need to buy a chain kit or make your own by buying 10ft of chain and 4 appropriate sized quick links. They attach to the steel loops on the bottom of the bumper brackets. Twist the chain if the drag on the ground to shorten them.
