I think the steel bumper is an upgrade strength wise, plus you should get the steel rear rock rails that bolt to the frame and the bumper, they are the perhaps 1.5” tubes you see low on the rear of a Rubicon….Jack

Heaven help the poor little compact that hits the rear of one of these things - the hooks, the receiver, bumper, rear bed protection, all bolted to the frame.
