Is this bar loud when dropped with bumper plates? Can you hear the sleeve hit the bar like the ones with the bolt on end?

I don't use bumper plates. But the fitment is snug. So It would be safe to say there is at the very least. Some noise reduction

I use bumper plates, and just carpet on floor. I don't here sleeve hit bar. It's pretty quite.

I have the Rugged Ridge Stubby Bumper and what I like about it, is that the winch itself, sits inside the bumper, you can either elect to buy the bull over rider, and/or the stinger at your leisure. I have the bull over rider and I like it. Installation was a breeze, and you can add end caps to it, if you want to. Now, when I was installing this bumper, it fell on me, with winch, and surprisingly, no damage, however, my garage floor had a huge welt, but that's okay. It is very durable.

Yes, it is as good as the stock bumper. I have had no problems with it and it looks the same.

I find the space bar much louder than the other keys. I don't know if there is something wrong with mine - I just got it yesterday, but it makes racket compared to the other keys.

the black sleeves on the end of the bar are not durable. They are not even made of rubber but some kind of black foam. After a couple weeks of regular daily pull-ups the pieces of this foam started sticking to the paint on the doorframe and left distinguishable marks on it. Also, this door is installed into drywall. I hear louder and louder squeaking sounds every day. One day, I expect, that wall will go down along with me.

I thought it was a better bumper than the factory one. it had more bracing and more bolts than the bumper that came on my 2013 Sierra. The bolts were larger and brackets were made as well if not better. I would definitely purchase it again over the factory one, especially for the price difference. The only thing thin is the two chrome covers but that is the same way as the factory one.

Probably not since most aftermarket bumpers cover most the top and side of the chassis. The two plates that come with the light bar need to be bolted to the side of the chassis with two existing holes on each side.

When I was putting it on the back bar didn't align perfectly. That said, if you put all the bolts in loosely and tighten them you will not have a problem. I wouldn't let this issue stop you from buying the racks, but I was glad I knew about it when I was putting them on. They look so much better than the other general fit crossbars that are out there.

It's quieter than the stock, I believe correct installation is the key, there are some baffles or rubber dampers on the screws or bracket if I recall correctly.

The newer units from Givi use a couple of rubber O-rings where the two halves of the bar join up front. As I understand it, this was done specifically to prevent the buzzing and rattling coming from that part of the bars.

no. even after dropping mine there is no such noise, and it still works perfectly. sounds like there is a problem with yours

I've seen a jeep out where I am, with a chain taunt across the d rings that he has used to high jack it. The bumper itself is very heavy duty, but as someone else said there really is no stable place to position a jack. The chain across the d rings is your best option

The only issue I had with this, was the screws on each of the sides. At first they would hit my factory roof rack bars when I would go over a bump. I placed a small piece of electrical tape over the screw and the problem was solved. The item may be wider than your factory rack so you may not have that issue.

This is Steve the sleeves spin pretty good, I occasionally put the bar on the end and put a few drops of oil where the bushing is and leave overnight ... The sleeves spin better with weight on them ... This is more of a power bar than a weightlifting bar ... But for the price this is a really good bar ,as good as ones costing twice as much ..

It definitely hits the swaybar on the front, really close fit on the rear. I took mine back off.

It's a bumper cover. Not a bumper. The bumper is the bar behind this piece of plastic.
