bumper supports, heard of these?

[texanrebel]

So like most trailers my bumper is rated for 100 pounds, with the spare on it cant put anything else. So im been thinking about getting someone to weld up a hitch on the trailer, wasnt thrilled about welding on my brand new trailer or put a front mount hitch on my truck, not crazy about that either, then i found this, anyone heard or uses these, seems like it would work.

Those look very interesting I might invest in these myself.

Thanks for the link.

Looks like a band-aid to me, I would not use it.

I had a fabricator put bracing (1" square tube if I recall) from the receiver tube back to the frame on an angle. It was very effective.

ETA: This was on a previous RV.

I read alot of reviews nobody body had anything bad to say, they also sell them on amazon. For 68 dollars definitely think its worth a try, think im gonna order them today, their hitch reciever is also nice

I saw these a couple years ago and thought they were interesting. The only concern I have is the twisting motion on the bumper from a bike rack. Now, if they had bolts going from the support into the bumper as well as into the frame, I would be more interested. Course, I'm no engineer...just a fisherman, so what do I know?

Best thing, which we have done a few times on past rigs, is just change out everything, supports, bumper, etc. I usually change out the box tubing coming from the frame rails and go back with a way thicker 4" square tubing on the bumper. At least I know what I have then. The stock bumper is too thin for much more than a sewer hose holder. I don't even like a spare tire on it. In addition to that, I fab and weld on my own receiver hitches. The Jayco already had one, but it too has been reinforced since the frame mounts only had 3 stitch welds holding them on.


To each their own, but I don't trust anything chassis wise from LCI. I usually always find myself redoing welds or adding more. I don't care if it does void warranty.
