Factory Bumper Tow Rating

Crumm said:

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

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........
