I removed the factory bumper, cut the frame endcaps to the frame flush, and bolted the new bumper brackets directly to the frame. If you try to bolt the new bumper to the factory mounting locations, you can't use your new bumper as a recovery point. If you do you will break the factory welds.

He's saying if you use the factory bumper mounts they won't be strong enough to tow the truck from. You'll have to make some new mounts that bolt/weld directly to the frame.

O ok, i was planning on making some brackets and welding to the bumper and bolting to the frame. That would be sufficient for a recovery point right?
