Default Garvin Trail Rack + OR-Fab Carrier?

I was looking for a rear rack solution I could use in conjunction with the OR-Fab carrier. I came across the Garvin Trail Rack --> http://www.quadratec.com/products/12042_6101_07.htm



It's just strictly bolt-on, small enough to not get in the way, and will hold 75 lbs of gear. Only problem I see could be height. Maybe that could be modded though?

Anyone ever attempted to run these two together or have any experience with the Garvin Trail Rack?

Thanks.

Also, I saw two different versions of the rack...the one above, and then this one --> http://www.quadratec.com/products/12044_302_07.htm

The OR-Fab carrier moves the spare up 5 inches, so if you're running a large tire I can see that being a nightmare without being able to see and measure it. Also, I think you would have to get the jerry can version of the OR-Fab carrier as there might not be enough clearance behind it to fit that rack in.

I think the second link you gave might work, hard to tell though.

I was thinking for a while now for the exact set-up. Did it work for you? If yes, what did you do exactly!

Thanks in advance.
