i have a question about the rear bumper mounts on a 95. i replaced the rear bumper with one that i made. the question is, is the stock mounting on the rear strong enough to incorporate a hitch into the bumper ?

Not recomended. You should run supports down the unibody. Lookup detour usa tailbone. That will send you in the right dirrection.

no, the 8 factory holes are little more than sheet metal with nuts welded to it. Try pulling on it and risk tearing the bolts right out of the body. Easy thing to do is cut the plates off an old hitch and use those
