I bought this one for $129, obviously it still attaches to the tailgate skin, but it's supposed to keep the tire from torque'ing around and holds it closer to the gate relieving stress too. Either way, much safer than using the stock carrier and much cheaper than the really heavy duty carriers if you're on a budget.

Instead of wasting money on grade 8 bolts, use a large phillips screwdriver to pry out the stock nuts. Use it in the same fashion you would the bolts. Works much faster and easier.
