Bumper is made of 8 inch steel channel that is 1 inch thick on the flat surface you see the license plate bolted to. The steps are made from standard 8 inch channel. Drop section for the reciever is made of 1/2 inch steel plate and has a Shelton tube mounted in it. Dock bumpers on either end were there when I bought the truck (steps were not, I added them). The back is reinforced with 1/2inch x 2 inch steel stock in a V from the top outside corners to the bottom center and the brackets that run up the outside of the frame rails are made of 1/2 inch x 6 inch steel stock. One heavy duty (and HEAVY) bumper. Hooks on either side of the pintle hook are chain hooks welded on for safety chains. There are also safety chain loops on either side of the hitch reciever tube.
