most of the aftermarket bumpers/tire swings aren't the easiest to install due to fitment, it isn't just one brand or where they are made/distributed. Buy what you like/want because it is your money not anyone elses 
people thought I was nuts for buying and installing a front cable locker but I did a lot of research and it is what I picked to best fit my needs ....plus it was my hard earned money

I have a LoD front bumper. The clevis mounts are solid, the winch is well protected, really high quality all around. There isn't a better made bumper on the market.
Being American Made is only icing on the cake

I"ve hit some rocks hard with mine and expected some dings but only had some scuffs and missing paint that was easy to touch up with some Rustoleum.
Looking at getting the rear w/tire carrier soon.

Expedition One
My Expedition One rear bumper was easy to install and the tire carrier swings with the gate. I took a lot of time deciding which bumper was right for my rig and have no regrets about the Expo One at all.

Nothing is wrong with the Smittybilt or their bumpers. People just have it in their head if it's not made in USA it's shit, and those people are idiots.
Just this past weekend I was on a trail and someone was stuck, someone was going to winch them out but their WARN WINCH wouldn't start up or work, but my Chinese Smittybilt winch had no problem and pulled them out.
