or fab tire carrier is about your best bet unless you go rancho.

$489 holds a high lift and 2 gerry cans



just mounted one myself and was concerned with approach angles but quickly decided that wouldnt be an issue



$399 chinese made, but hell what isnt now a days

orfab is a TIRE CARRIER and only that...no bumper replacement and requires perminant body modification.

The AEV tire carrier which is high quality can be used with the stock bumper and it runs ~$699
