Default Extended bumper mount hardware help

I purchased a used bumper from a little ways away from me for a steal of a price. Unfortunately it didn't come with the hardware. I know I can reuse the bolts from the stock bumper but I'm unsure of what size and thread pattern to get for the extra tie in bolts. Anyone know? I'll post pics of the bumper tomorrow evening when there's light but maybe someone knows without seeing the bumper. Thanks!

Just measure the holes and go buy the hardware, I would use SAE.


You do have a ruler don't you?

No, need to be an ******* about it...

It was late last night and didnt have the time to get under and look. I assumed there were shared bolts or weld nuts in the frame.

I came to realize my mind was making this a tougher decision than it really is this afternoon when I crawled underneath.

I guess where I'm at now is two of the bolts are shared with the power steering gearbox. Any foreseeable issues when I go to pull those bolts?

Just the spacer between the gear box and frame falling out. No bid deal though

And that aluminum spacer is 90% of the time broke or is fused with the bolt...buy an aftermarket spacer before taking it apart. I got mine from jrc but are made by multiple company's.

No was not meant to be.


It was such a basic question and easy to find out that if I need to know the same thing I can send my 14 yr. old grandson out to my shop to measure for me, just saying
