Ehh looks alright. Better with a flip up license plate and side protection IMO. Wrap around and get rid of the stock sliders. Doesn't look finished or complete with the stock sliders. Not rated for towing? Guessing it would be strong enough. Not a bad price point. High and tight for sure. Would not want to put my plates on the tailgate. Sorry for the negative feedback.

Have to agree, not a fan of the looks. However, it definitely serves a purpose as far as clearance is concerned. If you are are in need of the extra clearance based on the terrain you encounter than this is definitely an option. I have dragged my rear end a few times and decided to go with the Mopar steel rear that I am going to raptor line.

Do you have one in aluminum?

We don't make that bumper in aluminum but we do have other aluminum bumpers on our site.

Is there a way to mount the license plate on the center of the standard bumper? Not a fan of the relocation kit.

I like it, about time for a nice tight bumper vs the big train sized bumpers.

My only "issue" would be the downward tilt on the top of the bumper. I like it, but if wet or muddy that would be a pain to step on to.

Do you have any pics of the backside and underneat and mounting points? I would prefer the shackle points a little lower, depends on how it mounts to the frame.

Good idea on making a low profile set up, how about the front?

“currently NOT RATED FOR TOWING”

Does this suggest you are currently testing/certifying it for towing?

You can definitely add one by drilling a couple holes.

It only sticks out 3" inches from the tail gate. Not much of a step anyway. I usually use the tire.

I don't have any pics at the moment. I'll grab some tomorrow.
The shackle point are high to maximize departure angle.

We have a few options for the front

I like EVO’s JT Rear High N Tight Bumper but it really needs corner protection sliders.

EVO should either make separate standalone bolt on corner protection or better yet, incorporate the corner protection into the bumper itself. However they do it the corner protection should be able to handle consecutive full weight of the loaded vehicle drops onto the corner without bending or loosening up.

If EVO really wanted to get serious they would incorporate the corner protection sliders into the bumper itself making it all one piece and have the owner trim off the bottom 3-4” of their rear quarter sheet metal. I like the way “[Banned Site]” easily trimmed 3-4” off of his rear corners to bring the sheet metal of the corner up even with the bottom frame rail. Video attached.

Evo could also add an angled 3-4” lip to the bottom back forward facing edge of the bumper to prevent it from digging into the ground like a knife edge when going up steep inclines?

EVO, what do you think?

If this ever gets a good tow rating, Ill find a way to convince the wife to say yes to this.

Bumping this up as I ordered the hitch version on BF sale. I'm pairing this with a Rig'd Mega Fit tire swingout. I'm not concerned about the tow rated aspect for my application, just need something for the swingout/bike carrier.
