Not all steel is created equal. Heck for the price there can't be much steel (thickness) to them.If theyāre steel I donāt see much of a issue with them. Yes theyāre Chinese and cheap but still as good or equal to the plastic covered rear bumpers the bronco comes with.
Very true, the more I think about it after what we have all paid for our broncos 1k for a rear bumper is reasonable. Hell I paid $1600 for my front bumper plus another couple hundred to have it installed.Not all steel is created equal. Heck for the price there can't be much steel (thickness) to them.

UPDATE 4/20/2018 - There are a lot of people running these bumpers now. There are still modifications to be made, but if you're looking for a decent bumper on the cheap, these will do just fine.
If you want a hitch for the rear bumper, the All Pro hitch will bolt right up. To order just the hitch, try contacting low range offroad.
TL;DR: These bumpers will fit 05-11 with minor modifications. A notch must be made to clear the AC line, and washers may need to be added to align the bumper properly. On 12+, it is too tight to the body to allow flex between the frame and the cab.
As far as reliability, people have bashed these and winched from these with no problem. It is recommended that you get frame supports as found at various vendors if you want to do serious winching. @Sub-Zero is the man to ask any questions.
