Just ask @cosine he knows!
Installed my new bumper today, install was simple, no surprises, great buy from @Northridge4x4 at $269 for Black Friday deal. Bumper is very well built, 3/16" plate and is set up for reverse sensors. Bumper arrived well packaged with plenty of padding in thick cardboard box. Bumper has integrated class 3 receiver w/ 5k lb. capacity. The hitch is properly mounted to the frame cross member w/ 4 bolts and bolt plates. Bumper has plugs for sensor holes if you don't have sensors. Should be able to hold up to a 34.5" tire, I run 33.4" tall (295/70/17s) and have a bit over 1/2" clearance. The bumper also includes a spare tire license plate relocation bracket w/ LED light. I located my license plate to the tailgate as per this thread so I didn't use the enclosed set.

This wasn't listed as being included so it's a nice bonus as these cost upwards of $50 if you order one online.

IMO, if you're looking for a basic rear bumper that's very well built, looks great, has a very strong class 3 hitch & mount, and also includes sensor provisions this is a huge win for the sub-$300 price!
Couldn't be happier w/ the purchase :like: :handsinair:
