Question

Question:

I purchased this front hitch because it is supposed to fit my jeep. 2009 jk unlimited. I do not have stock bumper but thought it would still fit because it is a Mopar jeep bumper, not some other brand. I cant figure out how to make it fit. Does it bolt twice to underside of bumper?
