I just ordered the rugged ridge tire carrier/tailgate support. 495$ shipped on amazon for both pieces. Teraflex is almost 800 fir the same thing!!

I'm Running a 35 and 2 gallons of gas and a gallon of water on the back on the stock hinge and carrier. I just got lucky though my spare actually rests on the bumper. I mean you can't even slide a piece of paper in-between it. But it opens with ease no rattles. I did jam 2 black racket balls to extend the isolators now its super snug to the Jeep. I'v abused this baby on the trail and no adverse effects.

Saying that I don't recommend doing it I just got lucky with it resting on the bumper.

I'm glad you went ahead withe the RR spartan Hinge. I was looking into that one but when I do go 37's I'm going to have to get the full TeraFlex system because I want to add the accessory mount. (I want to add more RotoPax to my Jeep)

My 35 has been hanging on my stock tire carrier for a little over a year. A couple wheelin trips on it and no issues/rattles to date. I have 3.25" backspacing so there is a little more leverage working against mine than there would be on that setup. I just made sure that I had secured the proper length rubber isolators before throwing it on.

Running 35" KM2 on the back for 8k miles and wheeling at least 2 weekends a month for the last 6 months. Found this nice bend in the gate last weekend.
