I remove the bumper and bolt it to the arms, so you do not put scratches in your chrome and do not have to worry about your clamps breaking.

I had occasion to tow using the bumper brackets and one broke in the first 10 FEET--it was a re pop and I didn't know it! They looked good but how do you tell Ford parts from the really bad--they look the same. The other Ford bracket held and I managed to get it stopped without breaking the car. Beware,
