I've never seen this before, but I'd like to see the cost, I'm starting to budget for a tire carrier.

Default Bump

Was really set on the LoD rear bumper 'til I ran across this.

Anyone using this that could share their experience...especially with the weight shifted to the side and how they solved sagging springs?

If the carrier is used, the tire will block the left rear light cluster. You'll get a ticket everytime a cop is behind ya.

Maybe not.

the fact of the matter is that the factory lights are still being blocked. It may work if you remove the factory lights so you don't have blocked lights but that depends if your state law allows it.

You can't get a ticket for blocked lights as long as you have other visible, and operational lights. Like when using a trailer or hitch carrier and you have operational lights on the trailer or hitch carrier. Not challenging you but I'm a police officer and I know a little about laws..

Yeah, but you know there are ball busters out there too

I don't mind the occasional officer wanting to meet me but not sure I wanna deal. This does look pretty sweet...now have to figure out a relocation solution.

On another one of those pics up there it shows the spare tire and carrier on the middle part of the JK not blocking the driver side tail light area. Hmm, there must be two different versions or options.
