to keep it from sagging in. Sometimes, when the truck gets in a bind, the front tires rub the bumper and pull it down some. Shimming the bumper pushes it away from the tires.

i beleive they are 5/8 in diameter, buy 2 inch full thread grade 8 bolts. Don't hold me to this but i am trying to remember. Still interested in those flares travis?

I just put my bumper on using brackets I bought off Ebay.
They were NOT 5/8", that's HUGE, did you mean you used a 5/8" wrench?
I think the bolts I used were 3/8" coarse thread.
My bumper was in the bed of the truck when I bought it, I had to hammer, rubout, weld, and make it work to fit to the brackets (cut off with a torch for a winch bumper that was then removed by the P/O)
SO, I've never seen the stock bumper bolts.... but I know the 3/8 fit the holes.
I would say 2" length would work fine, no problem if they are too long!

I just put 4 big fender washers under the mount to frame part. using stock bolts. got it alot closer. then dave (golfer) took off in it. So hopefully that will fix the problem. Thanks Travis
