I have one and really like it. The fit and finish are great, first class powdercoat job, it installs fairly easily, fits very well, and does not rattle hardly at all (only on very sharp bumps).

I researched quite a few rear bumpers before deciding on the Rockhard. The only cons to this bumper is that the spare rides very high and blocks your view, but I can live with that... and the cost, but you get what you pay for.



...more pics in my Project Jk gallery.

I took mine to Moab and slapped the crap out of it. It's barely scratched. Very tight fit, quality welds and stout as all get out. The add-ons (jerry can and top racks) are top notch as well.

Cons: The install instructions are (were) pretty poor, but there's some write ups for it that'll take care of that problem.

I really like it. It is VERY heavy though. I have the Full Traction 3" lift and it sags with the full load, you can see it in the photo. I'm looking at putting in air bags in the rear coils. I have an appointment with a fab shop on Friday to see what we can do. I'll bring Eddie's write up with me!

We installed one the other day and it went on great. Really nice bumper.

We sell them everyday and they ship with in a day or two . They are in stock ready to go.
