On my 94, I had 10 bolts holding the bumper on... 2 in the stock bumper holes and 3 through a plate that got pinnched between the frame and the receiver hitch. That on both rails.

meh, i go with 2-3 hardware store cheapie bolts for each bumper. the third bolt keeps it from flopping around in the wind when you drive
did i mention i lost a bumper once while doing doughnuts at my buddy's house?

My rear bumper is overkill with 3 , 3/4" bolts but only because I used the factory massive holes already there. I'd feel just as safe with 1/2" bolts.
My front has 3 , 1/2" bolts and I was picked up with it hanging from an excavator last summer in Tough Trucks no problem
