QUOTE=carringb;303514]Buckstop bumpers are rated for 20k towing, 6k hitch weight.

E350s with the v10 and 4.10 gears are rated for 18,500 pounds combined. I’m not sure if Annie’s van has been re-geared, but the Dana 60 tops out out at 20k combined.[/QUOTE]


Thanks for that info Carringb!

Joedale sorry for delay, had a training today and a death in good friends family yesterday so I am behind on notifications.

Did CarringB provide what you needed?
As far as if my van has been regeared, I cannot answer that but I did not. Engine definitely likes being run fully loaded but I do not tow

I would need to verify any further specs- will see what I can find out

GLWTS !

Hello- I love the swing arms, tire carrier They are darn solid. I do keep them well greased for operation.

The box has a flaw in that water seeps in then sloshes around in an inch+ deep bottom. I have not tried to seal it. It is dustproof tho- if that makes sense, driving dusty gravel and things in the box stay clean.

I do like that ithe box is visible in the rear window and serves as my passive park-assist.

The lock broke after a few months and my small-town locksmith worked with Buckstop to core it out and replace.

And oh my I just looked at their webpage and see Buckstop's pricing has increased exponentially!

Hi Annie,

I sent you a text regarding whether or not you'd be willing to sell the OEM bucket seats separately.
