Looks like a solid product (No offense Teraflex, you guys make some good ish) but, you guys are out your damn mind for charging that much....the price point just isnt there for a lot of us...Jeepin is already an expensive habit, dont compound that by charging way too much for what is basically a large bracket.
I understand R&D and manufacturing is very costly but, just damn....
I do really like it though, just wish it were more reasonably priced...
Guess ill be going with the smittybily holder after all...

Has any testing been done with the Rugged Ridge JK Aluminum wheels?
I have them with 33" Safari TSR's, and I don't know if its because the offset is so different than stock or just that the tire is so heavy. I am not even sure of the offset difference but off the top of my head it's several inches. But the offest on the wheels on the stock carrier makes it sit so far off the back tailgate it really shakes and bangs around. Extended tailgate bumps have done next to nothing. So I am looking into carrier options. I really like your guys setup because I don't really wanna do a competitors install that you have to cut a hole in the back and have a tedious install.
Looking to stay 33 or maybe go 35's tops for the future, and with a custom painted bumper I don't wanna lose, figured this would fit the bill.
Just wanting to know its stronger than the stock setup and to be honest I want something that wont make noise or shake around on every bump. Everyone says oh 33's are no prob, but mine are. I double checked the spot welds and they look fine.
I was thinking it was all one piece and wouldn't be looking at $700 plus for the carrier setup to take care of it.
Edit:: I think they are 4.5" backspace for the Rugged Ridge JK wheels
