Anyone have an aftermarket bumper paired with theirs? Thanks to those that have the EVO D ring set up posted. Good visual for alternative bumper styles.
Love that you can run any rear bumper using TF's hinge. Also, added some rubber pads here and there on the hi-lift mount to put pressure against the jack greatly reducing the rattles to a bare minimum

I have the hinge and carrier with an LoD bumper and it works. I did have to use the mounting holes for a 37 inch tire even though I have 35s, though. Are you running 37s?

Yep. 37". Had to use 1.75" of wheel spacers to get it out far enough. Too much stress I guess hanging that far out and the weld snapped. They replaced it but I sold it. Not going through that every 6 months.

I would just have to unlock my rotopax & unscrew the two nuts on the jack. About an extra minute or two of work.

Default Kit too

Should I get the adjustable tire mounting kit if I'm running DuraTrac 33s or just the carrier?

if only 33's, I'd go just the hinge. I have 35's with me OE carrier and TF hinge working great. I do like that you can bring the spare in tighter to the tail gate with the TF carrier though.
