The max weight of the ball hitch is 8500 lbs. But since it is on the bumper and not the frame what is the max weight for the bumper?

I looked up the towing capacity of the rear step bumper on a 2004 Dodge Dakota in the owner's manual for you and it can handle up to 2,000 lbs. If you need to tow a heavier trailer then you will need to use a frame mounted trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13145 which should allow you to utilize the full towing capacity of the vehicle.
