So far, and it hasn't been long, but I love the carrier. very solid and no movement. The web site says 37s are the largest it can carry. I have 315/70/17. The door does not move until you move it so no slamming closed or swinging open. I have read that some people don't like the way it closes but I love it. If you decide to get one check out the Teraflex video on the install.

None. It is rock solid. The one thing they say to do in the video, and I believe it helped me avoid issues, is to place wood blocks under the tailgate (with it closed) resting on the back bumper. Do this before you unscrew anything. That way when you put the carrier on the tailgate is aligned. Once tighter down.... I have yet to see any movement.
Again, only had it on for a short period of time, but so far very impressed.
Hope that helps.

U do realize that this is my dad's realm.... Just let me know what ur looking to do and we can get it hooked up. He will be at jeeptoberfest with us. Duplicolor was his line for many years and he has some even cooler stuff now.
