Just watched the video. That looks like a very trick piece. Thanks for sharing.

I have the bestop carrier. I had my spare on it for a few days but just got paranoid about the weight on the tailgate. I know the carrier displaces the weight but I just went without a spare. I ordered an LoD bumper/tire carrier and will wait for that before I ride with a spare. My spare is a 35" btw....

I have the Smittybuilt and have been using it since September without any issues
I plan on buying the Or Fab but was unsure when I got my 35" tires

Works great I adjusted it so that the spare rides on the rear bumper to keep some of the weight off the rear door
