Default Hi lift mount to smittybilt xrc rear bumper help

I've got the xrc rear bumper on my 2008 jku rubicon and wondered if anyone had suggestions for some good mounts that would work. Would like mount maybe some cans as well. Help is appreciated !

I used a rugged ridge on my blue jeep that you can see in my album. It bolts up on the "A" frame mint with plenty of room for a 35 -37 inch tire.

I used the Rugged Ridge as well. Be prepared to by longer bolts though.

The pos Smittybilt tire carriers would do well to just carry the tire mount, let alone a tire AND a jack, like this customer of mine. The carrier broke off and left some serious body damage on his 12 JKUR. You might look at the hi lift jack mounts made by Dominion off road.

Yeah haven't been too happy with the rear bumper so far. This is the second rear bumper but I was lucky to catch the welds separating before anything happened and they warranted for free. The reason I found it was as I was four wheeling the tie carrier kept opening and I had to tie wire it closed. I'm trying not to replace if I don't have too but you guys feel its unsafe to mount even with the attachments suggested?

Thanks again for the help! Was going to get the matching front has anyone had issues with that one?
