Default Bumper reinforcements?

OK heres the story... I have an aftermarket rear bumper and have noticed that I now have a small crack in the rear frame rail deal where the bumper bolts to the frame. Ill post a pic later to better show but I was wondering how can I beef up that rear bumper plate where the bumper attaches to the frame..... I have 8 bolts that attach to the rear bumper frame deal... and 4 bolts that attach from underneath to the actual frame (unibody)

No there is a thread about this happening on Naxja. Ill see if I can find it. Basically what he did was cut a hole so he could put a peice of box steel right into the frame them welded a plate on the end as a new mount.
