Overview
The Smittybilt 614820 is an M1 rear bumper for 2007–2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 2011–2013 Silverado 3500 HD pickups. The title also notes additional rear lights.
Built from 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch cold roll steel, it has solid D-rings welded on the inside and outside and a two-stage matte black powder coat. Smittybilt’s description says each M1 is bolted on with no drilling, and the 7/8-inch D-ring mounts come standard.

- 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch cold roll steel
- Additional rear lights included, per the product title
- Bolt-on installation with no drilling
Heavy-Duty Pickups and Rear Recovery
Heavy-duty pickups carry more weight and tow heavier loads than light trucks, so a rear bumper on a 2500 or 3500 chassis has to handle real force during recovery and towing. Check that the hitch and bumper mounts are rated for the truck’s gross weight and that the tailgate still opens fully with the bumper installed. Rear lights should be wired through the truck’s existing brake and turn circuits with proper fusing.
Rear recovery straps and shackles put load on the D-rings and their welds. Inspect those points after each use, looking for cracked welds and bent plates. Re-check the mounting bolts after the first few trips, since heavy trucks settle and vibrate over rough roads.
- Match hitch rating to the truck’s tow and gross weight
- Confirm the tailgate opens fully with the bumper fitted
- Inspect D-ring welds after each recovery
