Factory Bumper Tow Rating

[Crumm]

What is the tow rating of the factory bumper? I seem to recall seeing some that have something like 300/3500 printed on them but for some reason mine doesn't say a thing. I am talking BUMPER not receiver..

I am wondering for a receiver hitch extension brace I am thinking about building.

Thanks

IIRC the owners manual says 500/5000

I find it hard if not impossible to believe that your factory bumper doesnt still have the sticker on it.

500/5000 will more than support what I am up too

Here is a picture of the idea. The upper link will help support the tongue weight of the trailer. The superHitch truss does the same thing but that setup is over $1000. I still need to build a new extension that is a little longer and shorten the link but I think this will work out and not cost anything but my labor. Off to make it happen........

i didnt do a good job of asking my ??? crumm, sorry.

i was just curious as to why you would have a trailer out in front of your truck?

if its a surprise, i understand.

Thats the back of the truck. The hitch extension is so the hitch will reach out under the back of my new 9.5' camper.

Here is a picture, see the back of the truck?

And see how far under the camper the hitch is:
