    Specs are decent. Quality control might be a different story.

    I never trust an Amazon listed item with the name in all capital letters. It’s just the same old rinse and repeat knock offs

    Probably good enough for mall crawling otherwise I wouldn't trust Chinese steel and I most certainly wouldn't trust Chinese fabrication. The Chinese do alot of things well but steel manufacturing and welding ar NOT on that list. And I bet that supposed "powder coating" is garbage too.

    Save your change and buy from a reputable American manufacturer

    Here's a review of one of their bumpers from a jeep forum....

    "Made the mistake of ordering one of these for my last rig. They look the part but the quality is not there. You get what you pay for with the metal and welds. Mine was missing several bolts and nuts. I ended up making it work after several hours of fitting it all together. Had paint issues and rust formed quickly"
