Reviews: Smittybilt XRC GEN1 Rear Bumpers

I called after ordering this bumper and a front bumper asking if this would fit the xrc tire carrier. Everything on this page said it would fit. But over the phone they verified that it will not. Didn't put it on my rig. But looks solid and it was free. Lol.

Product is great the online customer service was terrible.

Fits perfectly and looks great. This bumper and carrier went on relatively easily with the help of a friend. Looking at the matching front bumper too.

What I expected. Awesome..........................

Bought this bumper for my daughter's 2017 JK. She already had a hitch so decided to replace the stock bumper on my wife's 2015 JK instead. Picked up in store. Well packaged, all parts, no damage. Removed and installed in my driveway in less than 2 hours. Its a 2 man job setting the bumper, but everything aligned perfectly. No drilling. Tight fit getting 41/2" bolts inserted between the muffler and rear crossbar/frame, but just enough space. 35 spare no clearance problem but my adjustable spacer is maxed out. Love it! Aggressive and heavy-duty. Compliments the previously installed Smittybilt XRC front bumper. Plan to purchase another to finish the 2017 JK.

When I originally purchased my jeep I wanted this bumper buy cash was spent on other upgrades. Finally got one and had 4WP in McAllen put it on. Love the feel and less stress on my tailgate. One area of improvement I would say is that Smitty needs to have a better ring for the swing gate safety pin. It easily stretched out and without it you can't release the safety lock.

4WP has always had the best customer service, prices and shipping! I bought this Smittybilt XRC Gen 1 Bumper/Tire Carrier three times over the past several years for my Jeep JK builds. It is one of the best made bumpers around. This past time, I had an issue with damaged/missing parts. 4WP shipped the missing/damaged parts out ASAP. They are a great company!

Quick to install! Vary sturdy, perfect for the price, I did get a bunch of extra hardware, not sure if it was intentional.

Towing capacity far exceeds most vendors products in the price range

Very solid bumper and easy install. Instructions are a little old but pretty easy to figure out. The bumper is heavy so if you are looking for something lighter weight you may want to check out another one.

Is a really good price. And the material is really good

The purchase was much lower priced than competing online retailers. The product arrived quickly and extremely well packaged.

The bumper is great It also comes with a license plate relocation kit which saves you some money little complicated at first on the install but pretty easy.

Installed on a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon super easy went on without any problems just installed 37 and the tire still fit within the bumper step.

I wanted a rear bumper that had a class lll rated hitch and was not disco looking like allot of off brands you see. I used my shop stool with hydrolic lift to raise the bumper in place. Install was easy and tire fit with stock spare carrier.

Very well built and awesome price, wasn’t supposed to ship until end of may but already received it 6 weeks early.

Everything went in great. In fact there was a spare tire license plate relocate kit included and plugs for the sensors (if you don't have them). These items were not listed on the web site. I had already purchased one and already installed it. The bolt up was easy with my two sons holding the bumper in place while i installed the bolts. It looks great on my jeep. Install time with removal of the stock bumper was about 3 hours.
