I own this bumper and I installed the front and the rear by myself. I have the Rusty's 3" lift I was able to balance the front and rear bumper on a couple of milk crates while I matched up the bolts got them in their kind of loosely and then pulled them up snug and then used a dead blow to bang it into place. I strongly recommend removing the tail light housings before installing. Things will go easier.

Also the Midwest brand Jerry can will fit the carrier I tried one of those NATO ones from Jax Outdoor and it didn't fit. The Midwest Jerry can is available from Harbor Freight or from Amazon. I bought mine at TSC. I've also seen them at Big R / Reds depending on where you live
the bottom weld broke on the hinge that I haven't re-welded so the spare tire rack opens and closes harder. The tire rack holds a lot of gear besides the tire. I welded brackets on the inside and made a fold down flat surface and divided one of the storage panel so I could use for fluids. I would get one that holds 10 gallons of gas, because when I go to the Canyonlands I have cans everywhere.
