Tom. The stock bump offers very little support. If weigh is applied at the center. The bumper bracket that attaches the two bumper halves together will sag at some point. Plus I'm not up on the bumper shocks used on earlier years. The hitch load should only be applied to the frame. The bumper could be used as just another contact point for the transfer of vibration maybe. From what I see. A tow bar or dolly is more to this hitch's work load. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale
