If its the bolt over kind they all work the same. I have the Smitty Pivot one Works just as good as my friends Teraflex one and it was $200 cheaper.

I highly recommend the Crawler Conceptz body mounted tire carrier. Looks and works great, made in the USA, and rated to hold a heavy 40" tire. I'm running 37" Ridge Grapplers on beadlocks, and the gate opens effortlessly.

I've seen similar setups that you have, from Smittybilt, to FabFours...I want that style, hinge attached to bumper, but my one concern is noise. Do you hear any noise or feel it rattle at all ?

I have the AEV tire carrier and love it. Works great with the tailgate.

I have the same. Really do like it as well.

If I had to buy another one I would get EVO's new carrier. I like how it places the tire closer to the gate.

I also run this DV8. Only issues so far is that the supplied hardware was cheap junk, which have since upgraded to grade 8. And the links have to be greased every so often. Figured that one out when one day (after moving to a humid climate) my gate wouldn't open.. WD-40 worked for a week at a stretch, grease has lasted since I put it on.
