Mine failed at the point where the bumper is welded onto the center support of the frame.? Not only do you you get load vertically & horizontally, but also front to back.
The front to back load seems to be the issue - with the tire mounted on a vertical post hooked to the bumper - that's a lot of torque and flex for such a flimsy thin bumper and tack welds from the frame to the bumper.
The suggestion in a previous post with flanges welded in seems like the best solution.thats probably the route I'm going to take. More surface area to hold
Just my 2 cents and observations
Happy camping
