In order to use his bumpers you have to cut it off. And with his bumper, it now has a new cross member in it's place. A lot stronger ( 2x2, 1/4" thick) that give it support.

These bumpers bolt onto the same holes as the HD hitches do. The receiver is welded into the new 2x2 cross member and the exterior shell.
Let's just add this, I have a 7k tandem axle flat bed, and a slant 2 horse trailer that I occasionally pull with mine also.
