Okay, I got a few questions for those of you running 35's and up on a swing out tire carrier. I in the process of building mine, im running 36x13.50 IROKS and I'm using a rockstomper turned down trailer spindle, and a latch from granger. The bumper it self is built from 3/16 plate and is very similar in looks to the WARN rear. I'm wondering how much delfection to expect if any when swinging the carrier out to open the hatch and when the jeeps hits bumps in the road. I've used the stock 8 bolt holes and then used the first to bolt holes on both sides that would be used to locate a trailer hitch. Right now my design is moving about an 1/8 of an inch when swinging the carrier open and closed, its just enough to notice if your looking closely. This might be a random question to throw up here but I know no one with a swing out carrier that I could look over and ckeck out. thanks steve
