Expedition one bumper
I installed their front and rear bumper last week and both bolted up great. The only complaint I have is their is not enough verticle adjustment where the tire carrier mounts to tailgate. Mine lifts up on the tailgate with a 35" tire mounted to it; I'm not sure how much it stresses the hinges. Fit and finish is excellent and rattle free.

There is a lot of adjustment where the carrier hinges to the tailgate. The mount itself has about 1 inch of up/down adjustment, and the hinge joint has a couple of aluminum spacers in it where it attaches to the swingarm that can be arranged in different configurations to adjust for the vertical. You should be able to adjust so there is no vertical pressure on the tailgate easily...
