How many washers did you use? and what length bolts? I put my swap on but I used a stock brace that isnt doing much as it is broken. and used a cubic butt load of washers to get it on. I need a permanent solution but need to know on top the the standard spacers, how many washers per hole do there have to be? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

I installed a remaned durango box with a JCR spacer and used two grade 8 washers as spacers on each bolt.
But the tow hook bolt on their bracket was not lined up right so I am going to have to modify it later. I contacted them and told them I had an issue with my part and they just didn't respond after I told them the issue. Probably won't be buying from them ever again just for that.
