Need Thread Info for Bolts to the Bumper

[TruckNoob]

Fred, glad you were able to solve the problem and get your hitch mounted.

Just a question, since you didn't mention it. Did you use blue thread locker on the bolts and torque them to the proper spec? Always a good idea when installing a hitch or messing with the bumper.

Yes indeed. I found it REALLY hard to torque it the 150 Ft/lbs -- the last one I did was on my Subaru and the bolts were in such a way that I was able to stand up and use my body weight. Laying on the ground and twisting for these bolts was brutal, but they are in at the proper setting. And yes, I'm a big proponent of blue thread locker, so I always dab it on things screws/bolts.
