Rear bumper on cherokee

What is the best way to secure a after market bumper on my jeep to keep it from getting pulled off? Thanks!

There should be a nut strip inside the frame. If not, you can get one. The bumper should have a piece of metal that extends back on the bottom of the frame and has holes to match the nut strip.

Circle S industries. Made here in the US. Not an easy install but well worth it. I also used 3/16” steel on the underside to sandwich the frame.

Get some of those tie in brackets. Well worth it. I actually went a bit farther and plated my rear unibody rail under and around where those bolt to because the metal there is quite thin.
