One guy bent the frame in his Ford pickup, the other twisted the front A-frames on his Dodge Cummins from the torque on the disk brakes.
That's one of several reasons I got a a"superbumper".....to have it take some of the force from a direct hit and absorb some of the impact forces transferred from the hitch to the frame....and then to our bodies/necks.
Thant and it "might" save the cladding and other parts back there in a low enough impact.

Although even with the best of planning, things don't always go as expected.......translation for some of the newer members...the jerk cabbie that hit me in January, missed, MISSED! the superbumper completely!

Reminds me, I was going to order the slightly larger one, like you have Tom. You still happy with the 24"?
Anybody want to buy my 18"....I'll bring it to Moab.....all nice and clean and conditioned by Kat!
