Ok, now I gotta ask this question...

I plan to install a through the bumper hitch. But all the
designs I've seen have a plate or such welded to the hitch.
This replaces the original plate at the center of the bumper halves
and is bolted to the bumpers.

My concern is, if somebody hits your bumper, the force will
be transmitted through the hitch directly to the frame.
Without the hitch, the shock absorbers would help absorb
the impact, hopefully saving the frame from damage.

Seems like a better design would have the hitch passing through
the center plate of the bumpers without being welded to it.

Thoughts?

thanks,
Karen
