Can you share a picture? As an RI, I would worry that these are not long enough based on the description to support an 8" bumper, but I would have to see it. There are versions of interpretations of you described assembly (such as it is) that are legal, but also some that are not.

Same comment. That would work if the structure is wide enough. Then they would need to be sure their overall frame perimeter is less than 120 as they would have to extend it at least 4" (1" in each corner) based on the picture
