I have the JCR diy bumper kit that I planned on building and making a tire carrier for. My plan was to beef up the hitch at the same time. The reason I decided not to go the diy route (which would look better and be about half the price) is the liability issues should something happen. If I buy a tire carrier bumper that specifies it has a class 3 hitch and something fails (the hitch, clevis tabs or carrier) causing an accident, it falls back on the company that made it. If the same thing is made by someone in their garage and it fails, they're screwed unless they have an LLC and even then civil court will keep you poor for the rest of your life. Just something to think about. That's the reason most bumper companies dont rate their hitches. The testing and all that it takes to get it rated is crazy extensive not to mention not cost effective for a "small" company. Smittybilt and EAG both rate their hitches as class 3 so they're assuming all liability
