Default need advice on hitch carrier basket

I looking for a carrier basket that locks into my reciever hitch. I'm going to be doing a lot of beach driving and I need to carry all my stiff out there. Gonna be a heavy cooler (full of meat and beer), firewood, grill, etc. I need to to clear my spare tire as I have to have it out there. The back of the jeep is gonna be full as I have a great dane that takes up most of the back!

I have the HF one and it does work with stock sahara spare tire, but i did have to lower the air pressure a little and you cant open the tailgate with it on. Its the silver one that goes for around $99 ( i just painted it black) and in the two pics, im carrying about 500lbs which held up just fine driving from Boston, MA to Arizona
