I just installed the Rugged Ridge kit and it seems to work well enough. Seems like a good product but I've only had it on for 2 weeks.

LOD rear bumper w/extreme duty tire carrier. I use mine everyday and I love it. Only problem I've had was to welds on the tire carrier bracket broke. I called LOD and they had a new one at my door two days later.

I wish there were this many choices when I bought my Teraflex hinge, but I still do not regret buying it. Even with the high price.

I did a lot of research for a single handed solution. I had a Pure Jeep that was "2 stage" and got tired of it, plus it rattled like crazy.

Ultimately I ended up with the Expedition One linked carrier. It is extremely sturdy, I have zero rattles with a 37.

I just purchased the Teraflex, finished installing it and I like it alot. However, my pocket book wishes I had done some more shopping around because the Rugged Ridge seems very similar at a much more user friendly price. I was kind pizzed after buying the TF Hinge/Carrier combo that I had to go spend another $75 for their additional brake light extension bracket since the one that came with it is garbage and the Rugged Ridge includes the same kind of brake light extension bracket in their complete Spartacus kit. I haven't seen the Rugged Ridge in person, but looking at the photos it does seem VERY similar.
