for those of you who have these - is the pin that holds it closed simply the same type of pin you'd use for a trailer hitch? I bought one of these bumpers used and just have a bolt that dropps down from the top.
Mine rattles over bumps, where the arm bounches up and down in the spot with the bolt. it's noisy. Any ideas as to what to do to make it be quieter?

I have the optional 1 inch longer lower rear control arms for a short arm and they are at the shortest setting. I have less than 1 inch clearance when I'm flexed. The Exp one rear reaches into rear wheel well to much. I like to get a rear bumper that doesn't go into wheel well
This pic is not flexed and looks fine
you can't see it but it is close on rear
38's or my 39.5's will be to close on my pinch seams so I want to push it back 1 inch

If I slide the Expedition one more rearward on brackets than it doesn't shut properly and binds. The bumper has to be tight against frame closest to body!!

looking for more reviews on this, in need a of a rear bumper and like how simple this one is. I am debating between this and the or fab setup. I am a little worried about the lack of rear corner protection, but I don't see that being a huge problem unless your taking some crazy lines with big drops. Also, those with the bumper..does it get in the way of the rear license plate?
