I used the bracket for 4 months and had to take my spare off. I'm running 295/70R18 Nitto Trail Grapplers which are about 30 lbs heavier than stock. They are on stock wheels. Anyway, after 3 months I heard a squeak, I took it off after not being able to support it any other way. I'll sell my bracket if someone wants it... its not doing me any good...
Edit.. I used teh daystar bumpstops and they didn't align very well with the tire.. overall waste of money.. I'm looking in to the AEV tire carrier now...

I don't have a pic, but the daystars were inside of the sidewall so I had to angle them out. plus they were about 1/2" too short. This is mainly because I went with the 295/70 which were 11.5" wide vs. the 12.5" if I went to true 35's. Overall side of the tires were 34.4" x 11.5" vs. 34.6" x 12.5" I didn't realize the skinnier tire would be a pain for the carrier.. oh well...

I run a 35 on a 15 inch wheel with 3.75 inch backspacing as well. Its only 4 pounds over stock and fits with no relocation bracket. Only issue is the wheel sitting far out and leveraging off your tailgate.
