Default Smitybilt src bumpers

I'm looking into bumpers for my jk and I like these ones for front and rear tire carrier. I don't know much about the quality and strength of these. I only plan to have 33s on the jeep. it is driven mostly by my wife and will probably see offroad less than a dozen times a year.

So any reviews or input on these bumpers would be great.

Also, I'm new to jks so if I need to relocate stuff or do anything to mount these let me know. It's a 2012 jku rubi auto.

Thanks!

The rear SRC bumpers weighs 70lb. Very easy to install and looks great. Installed mine 2 days ago.

I installed the SRC F/R bumpers about six months ago and am very happy with them. The rear tire carrier rattles a little over bumps but it isn't that bad. I really like how the look. I have a 2009 and had no problems installing but it is a two person job. On a 2012 you might have to relocate something on the front. I can't remember what it is called but I hear it is easy.

I've had a rear src with tire carrier for two years no workmanship issues, however there are nota lot of options when you want to expand. I've added the fuel can carrier but it was not thought out very well.
The latching handle wasn't very well built and mine is held in place with a bungee cord.
The paint/coating has held up well.
It's a good buy if you're just looking for a tire carrier and bumper, but if you're going to expand to expedition gear needs then I would look elsewhere, mine will be coming off this month so I can but what I need.
