Reviews: Smittybilt SRC Rear Bumpers

No problems mounting the bumper, i was able to do it by myself in under an hour using a floor jack to lift the bumper into place

Great bumper. Easy install. Fits perfect. 4 wheel parts delivered fast.

Strong and reliable bumper that will stand against anything.

For a bolt-on, no drilling installation this took significantly longer than I expected. In order to install this on my 2013 Wrangler JK I had to take the muffler off of the rubber exhaust hangers and push it up out of the way. That was a lot like wrestling with a polar bear in a phone booth. That was the only way to install the four bolts that secure the center section of the bumper through the frame (by the way, not in the install instructions). Once installed, it had very, very close tolerances to the body of my Jeep. I ended up using a scissor jack to push the bumper far enough off of the body panel to secure the bolts to hold it in place. Now that it's installed I really like it. It's tough and looks great, but a lot more effort than I expected.

I bought the SRC rear bumper w/ tire mount to match my front bumper, and it really looks great on my Jeep and took all that weight of the 36" tire off my tailgate. Love the swing out tire makes it easier to load stuff in the back. It was very easy to install took about 30 minutes.

The product looks great. My only thing was either the instructions were limited or they forgot to cut the bull bars inside the center part of the bumper... It would not go directly on and needed unexpected cutting to be mounted.

This is a great bumper. Yes it does rattle a little bit. If you are interested in this type of thing your Jeep already has accessories on it that rattle. Its a Jeep. If you want something quiet buy a car. You are not a Jeep person. The tire carrier swing out is very stiff. That is a good thing. If it wasn't it would beat its self to death. It looks great a preforms just like it should. I only wish it came with a Smittybilt sticker. That's not a very big complaint. I recommend this bumper.

Fantastic bumper. I love the look. With that being said, here is the bad part... you have to drill 4 New holes and elongate 2 holes. You need a impact gun to pull it tight to the frame. Getting your hand behind the gas tank to start the nuts is no easy task. I used a magnet to get the washer and nut started. You also will need a spare tire reloaction bracket for 33 x 12.50 15's and bigger. I have new 33 12.50 15 goodyear dura tracs and the rear gate WILL not close without the extra bracket. The tire just rubs a little with the bracket. The bracket is about 40 bucks. still saves you about 170 v/s this bumper with the tire swing. My guess would be get the bumper with the tire swing if you are running something larger than a 33. Thanks SRC. Thanks 4WD!!

I like the bumper but it has some issues, first the product is shown as "Fit" into my 94 YJ, but the inner holes do not fit (I drilled holes on the support to install), second, the bolts provided are way too short, they can not hold the 3 washers and nut safely, thus I installed with only 2 washers and I'll probably need to replace them depending in how it looks with time.
