poison spider rear stinger kit
So I'm thinking about selling my LOD carrier and been on the fence about what will replace it. I like the EVO carrier, I just wish it had a stinger. I had talked to poison spyder and they did that the JK wasn't a good platform for their stinger. Anyone running it on their JK? I know Falken had it for a while. Any feed back is appreciated.

From my understanding, the reason why you don't see a lot if stinger type tire carriers on JKs is that they attach to both the body and the bumper (frame). This is a problem for the jk as under flex situations the body of the jk flexes differently than the frame. This difference in body and frame movement will torque/bend the arms of the stinger tire carrier possible resulting in a break. That said, there are people who run them and who have either worked around this issue or not had a problem with it, so hopefully someone who runs a stinger tire carrier set up will chime in with some real world experience.
