Broken bumper brackets

So, I was putting spacers on my rear tires and the rear end lifted so I thought I would crawl under there and see what I could see. I wasn't too happy, but somewhat relieved at the same time. I found what I knew, that the 2 rear bumper brackets were broken and was wondering if anyone had part #'s and/or prices on these things. Also, how the #^!! do you take them off?!? I also found, to my relief, that I didn't do any visible damage to my car in TJ on New Year's in my little off-roading experience down there. Didn't check the front, but the back-end looked in good shape. Here's some pics:Flowmaster ExhaustThese are the brackets that are broken.

Both mrgoodrt and myself have hte same problem...not sure what causes it to happen, but it seems to be more common than one would expect (or hope) it to be...They remove real easy. Push rivets. Just pull out the center (might need a screwdriver to lift it out) then the rest of it comes out with it.Part # is 88970443 (I think). Probably about 10-15 bucks each.
