Well DS and I took the 5er to the metal shop today and he welded on a 2x2 angle iron to top of brackets that hold the bumper on which in turn are welded to the I-beam itself. Then, and wasn't expecting this, he welded the 2 brackets for the arms to the angle iron. Cool! Now I don't have to fuss with them. One and only drawback overall is that the "T" handle will hit the stabilizers when in full re-tract position. So I may end up w/ just using a bolt in place of the "T" handle and tighten/loosen w/ a wrench. Otherwise, it looks good. Have to finish install of other arms and add washers to rear ones. Looking forward to see how it works.
Again, THANK YOU for the advice on what to do/mount the brackets.
