Like the title says the hardware is cheap and doesn’t work had to go get my own. Some of the holes didn’t line up either

I would give a five star but I don’t like that you need a spacer to install to ensure that your rear door isn’t uneven when installing but other than that the fit is perfect, it is somewhat easy to install as long as you know what you’re doing and have a door spacer, and the fit is perfect. Also made with really good material, build quality is a 10/10

I wanted to get a tailgate reinforcement because I recently added 35’s and they are heavy. I didn’t want to mess up my tailgate with the heavy wheels. I also really liked the style it added to the rear of the vehicle. I looked at a lot of different brands but couldn’t stomach paying $300+ for a metal plate.I found the rough country reinforcement and couldn’t find a ton of information on it so I rolled the dice. Overall glad that I did.Product arrived on time and in tact. No scratches on the powder coating or anything.Install was a little harder than I thought. Took about 90 minutes with a pit stop for a T47 bit for the tailgate bolts since my bronco didn’t have one. Make sure you have one before you start! I watched a few YouTube videos and used a method I saw of wedging the Amazon box underneath the tailgate to hold it in place. Overall this worked well. I was able to get everything back on and it looks nice.The only downside is that since the tailgate bolts travel it seems like mine moved a little after a few days of use once the spare was on. I noticed the bolts were a little loose on the hinges after I really tightened them down. Not a huge issue I took the spare off and readjusted but I’d just recommend to check the bolts everyday for a few days to make sure there is no movement as it settles into place.Overall would recommend for the money.

Install can be a little tricky if you are doing it alone. Provides the support you need for larger tires and a tail get molle system.

Solid support and gives a great look to my Bronco. Would have been 5 stars except washers for the spare tire mount were too small and did not work. Had to purchase new washers and don’t go by paper instructions provided. Search YouTube for the installation guide. Much easier

Not sure why some reviews gave it less than five stars. For was great, the powder coated finish was fine too. Box arrived dinged up, but product was fine. Got my own stainless washers to use instead of the supplied ones. Would recommend the product.

Very easy to install, the instructions are very detailed. Took me about 30 minutes to complete. I don't understand how people have damaged their vehicle with this item, probably couldn't follow the instructions

The part fits great and looks great but has already started to rust.. we installed the bracket on October 28th, 2022 and it's showing rust on the included hardware already (writing this on January 2nd, 2023. Surface rust or not, itll only get worse..EDIT - May 8th. The product has started to rust under the powder coat. If it can be saved I'll probably have to have it Line X sprayed.

I upgraded to 35s tires and they are heavy! I saw the new raptor bronco comes with factory spare tire support for the 37s. I figured if Ford thought it was good to stiffin up the support for the 37s, I should do that for the 35s. It can only help.
