A lot of people are happy with the Teraflex Tire Carrier. If you go with a tub mounted carrier, you have a few other options for bumpers. The Olympic 4X4 Rock Rear Bumper allows you to maintain the factory receiver set up and is a nice looking option.
Let me know if you have any questions or would like a quote!

I have the rear bumper and carrier holding a mtz 35" tire
I suggest you spend your money on another bumper and carrier.
The bumper has held up extremely well. Smashed it many times off rocks with no problems. While the departure angle is not what I want, it is passable. I could live with the bumper
But the carrier? What junk. Ive had it almost 2 1/2 years now and I suggest against it for following reasons:
1) tire sticks out way too far and causes for crappy departure angles
2) the bolts loosen up all the time and cause the tire to bounce around
3) I alwayyysssss hit my tire off a steep decline
4) it has become so hard to open and close
5) it just isn't strong.
Hope you look into something different
