Our Axis has a Reese hitch bolted to (6 bolts, 3 each side) an approx 36" frame extension that is held to the frame also with 6 bolts (3 each side). The bumper is also bolted to this extension and the two "skid bars" are welded to it. Everything looks pretty solid (If I had an issue I think I would have found out last year when I pulled a car with it for 2000+ miles.)
