Reunel Rear Bumper Owners - Question

[NVR FNSH]

Where are you finding a rating of 15K for the receiver? I'm not familiar enough with the Class III, IV stuff to know if a 15K rating is embedded in there somewhere. The only sticker I've seen is the one on the receiver that says 10K.

I could be wrong but I remember that was what the lab report said about Ruenel's receiver. The best thing to do is grab the published report and go from there.

dan,

It goes back to what I said earlier about the factory receiver being rated for 10K. Unless, Reunel had their bumper tested while bolted to a Dodge frame the rated capacity isn't 'officially' increased. I use the term officially very loosely in this case. I'm sure the Reunel bumper can handle 15K or 20K but that's when the bumper is attached to something stronger than itself. I question whether the Dodge frame can take the 15K or 20K.....
