This thing looks mean!

One thing though, that smittybilt rear bumper can be a pain in the rear. Don't put your high lift on top of it or you will have to open the swing arm all the way up to get the hatch open. Also check and make sure the arm is leveled correctly with your tire and everything on it. If that pinwheel is worn you will not be able to get it to level out. I also had a problem with the bolts in the latch striping out. Two of the four were just sitting there freely from the factory. Also if the "bolt" that the latch grabs onto is not level as well then your swing arm will not shut fully.

This is just everything that was wrong with my bumper I got from smitybilt. I was driving down the street and made a left turn while the swing arm swung open mid turn. Luckily there was no car there or else that would have been really bad.
