I would have to guess Off Road Evolution's tire carrier can handle 42's since that's what they run on their jeep, but I think you have to run their rear corner guards with that setup.

The smittybilt xrc with carrier advertises up to a 40 inch but I remember someone on here running a 42 on it with no problems.

Just picked up my Benchmark designs elite rear w/tire carrier. I know it holds a 39.5, may be cleared for a 42". Shoot John an e-mail and see what he says.

I believe the River Raider swing down carrier will hold a 42". You would need to call them to verify.

that could be that some carriers will actually hold that size, but it's the weight that you sometimes have to be concerned with. My Warn carrier for example is designed for a typical 35", but will actually hold my 37" with no problem. I am within their weight guidelines and still plenty of clearance around the tire to body and bumper

Most likely the manufacturer is going to err on the safe side of what something is truly capable of

The LOD bumper will. Lo2aY has 42" MTR/K on it and WOL is running the same with a 40" Toyo MT.

stonehengeseries.com has a swing out carrier for a 42", it's the Stonehenge Series Rear Bumper GEN 4.0

looks to be a sister company of finshlinewest (FLW)
