Default Bumper issue!
Just installed my smitty XRC tire carrier and it has this crazy lean, just wanted to see if this is normal?? Everything is tight and it's just a 35 toyo tire on there. Thanks!

So what happens when you push on the tire? Does it rock back?.

It's not normal. Something is bent or twisted.
