Default Rugged Ridge Xtreme Heavy Duty Rear Bumper, good bumper?

Hey guys, trying to decide on the rear bumper.
So far from all the bumpers I looked at the appeal, price and use for the off road I stopped on XHD.

If you own the bumper can you comment if it is indeed well build bumper? Does it cover sides of the fenders all the way just like stock bumper? Picture showing that it has an angle that should help sliding when departing from toll rock, is it truly the case? Would you buy it again?

They come with the d-rings. The rear bumper is great, the tire carrier not so good it is poorly made and rattles.

They all come with the d ring. If you look real close, in the for sale section there is one going for $400 and another for around $600...

I love mine its a beefy bumper. I recently slid mine into a tree, pretty hard and it held up VERY well. It lines up very nicely with stock fenders. My only complaint on it is the rust. Ive had it for a little over a year and its rusting pretty bad already. I am going clean it off and bedline it this summer.

If I could do it again I would have gotten an OR-Fab but the Rugged Ridge one is still a good bumper.
