I got the SRC last summer and I was very happy with the quality. I also got the Smittybilt XRC 8000lb winch. I was happy with the whole package. The bumper had all quality welds and has a winch mount plate built into it. For the price you can't beat it.
It's not hard to install, but the only tricky thing is mounting the winch to the bumper when the bumper is already on the truck. I had to get my girlfriend to start the mounting bolts for the winch because there is limited access to the underside of the plate. The only access is four small holes (not big enough for my hands). I would suggest mounting the winch to the bumper first if you get the SRC bumper so you have access from the back.

I have them front and rear and they have held up great. They follow the contour of the Jeep body very nice and are well made.
