nope.. it will fall off again, believe me. take your bolts, put some wider flat washers on between the bolt, bumper, and nut.

Doesn't hurt to use stainless nuts/bolts, so they don't rust and seize up, at least not as quickly and easily.

anti-sieze works well, lock nut works well. ^for stainless. they're called fender washers if you go to a hardware store.
