What's your rear bumper + tire carrier?
What rear bumper and tire carrier do you have?
Are you happy with it?
Is there any rattling or sagging of the carrier?
Would you buy it again or something else on the market? - What would you get instead?

I have the Mopar bumper and carrier.
I'm happy with it, no sagging or rattling issues whatsoever.
Chances are I would buy it again. I feel like it is really tough, reliable, and cost effective as a package.

I have the Smitty built XRC and tire carrier, although I've only had it on for about 3 weeks I don't foresee any problems with it, it is built sturdy and does not rattle at all.... Love the looks of it and is built very well....... Highly recommend!!!

I believe you get what you pay for... With that saying. Their is a mix of bumpers out their and they all are a little different. And prices from 700 to 1500. I have the Rockhard with tire carrier. Yes they are the only 1/4 inch thick. Only a few pounds heavier than others. No sagging Perfect fit. Excellent quality. Fits like a glove. Powder coated black
good luck with your decision. I also have the full front with winch. On a tf 2.5lifr. 33 lm2. Sits level.

I have to say I was impressed by the strength of this thing. I have had it for about a year now and am really happy with it. I weight about 250lbs and can put all my weight on the far end with it fully extended away from the bumper with no issues. I have has no issues with rust, pain chips, warping, cracking..etc etc. I often take it on washboard roads doing 45MPH+ and it doesn't give me any concerns. The second to last photo shows how snug the tire is against the carrier. Part of the install is drilling through the carrier and the post that mounts to the tire so that you can make it more snug depending on the tire you have on there. I know the last picture shows some white speckles on the bumper: that's from waxing it earlier, not paint chips.
