Thanks. 6 bolts attach to the frame, two where the stock tow hitch are, two each on the left and right outboard frame aft of the rear wheels. My left frame rail was not square ( flange) so I had to use a hammer to my frame and adjust by 1/8", then all holes lined up. Minor dribbles of high temp grease sometimes escapes the grease seal. Once every 4 months maybe. Opened the top cap and grease is still there. The rear tab has 4 holes. The top two are for D-rings. You have to get their rings cause the holes are slightly smaller than standard. The bottom two are for mounting what they call a rock roller. A rolling pin.

The carrier is adjustable for thickness of tire. It can hold a Hi-Lift, shovel, CB antenna or flag mast. I did not expect much for the price, but I checked it out at 4wheels Truck Fest last year and was surprised. I was underneath the display jeep seeing how that spindle was mounted. Its not going anywhere. No rust, no problems, a tiny bit of rattle off road when the frame and body want to go in different directions. But when your torquing & flexing what doesn't make noise. Good gauge of steel.

Lot of great feedback here!!!!!

I picked up the daystar bumpstops for now and plan on checking around on the forum for a used one, and if not, buying a new one in a month or two. I like the LOD, teraflex, and or fab so far.
