I got the same one from mbrp and sent it back. Didn't like the offset and it pushed the spare out far enough it looked goofy. Also was afraid that being out farther would put even more stress on the stock carrier.

Did you find a solution yet? Tire is in back of my jeep and really not in the way right now but I know when I go camping It will be.

Damn, just ordered my daystar tailgate bumps stops from quadratec and it's back ordered. Is there a Q-tec people here on the forum that can give me a clue of when they become available? How come the stuff is always back ordered? I like them but man, this back order thing is getting old,

I had a set on BO through qtech for a while. I cancelled the order. They usually don't know when stuff like this will ship from the manufacturer. I believe these were on BO everywhere.

I also run that spacer and think it pushes it out WAY to far. Did you All find a closer one?

Any chance of getting a few pics of this set up? I cannot envision what you guys are doing with heater hose? Pics would be such a great help!
