What bolts???

Ok so I got new bumpers on my truck front and back... They didn't reinstall my OEM Class V hitch... I know it will mount back up on the frame with the new bumper... but I'm not sure what type of bolts to use... I imagine 8point but didn't know if there are any special bolts needed for mounting those hitch systems up?

I have the legend series Ranch Hand bumpers installed... front and back... the back one is the 10inch drop model with backuplights....I may have to put a spacer between my OEM Reese hitch to make it mate up with the new bumper... Will this take away any of my towing ability?

Regards, Madog

Standard Grade8 hex head bolts will do just fine.

It's a shame . They should have spun them back on the hitch ?

LOL, yeah... they were rusted up a bit I'm sure... so they thought they were helping me out... I'm guessing... no big worries.. I can buy a few new bolts for this reese hitch so it can look somewhat new like the bumper on this 10 year old truck
