Keep in mind that the main issue with bumper/tire carriers is the RATTLE. Many of them have been reported to rattle like crazy and will drive you crazy. Craig says that his ARB is rattle-free. On my JK I have the Tera Flex hinge and carrier that is rattle free but won't apply to your set-up. As already mentioned, max tire size should be a consideration too.

Indy, screw swing out tire carriers! Unless you spend $1500+ on a ARB or similar quality, they will be rattle traps. For under $400 you could install the Exogate carrier.

No swing out to mess with. Easily handles a 35 spare plus more. No need to buy a new rear bumper. Easy open/close of the rear gate without screwing with secondary latches. Win, win!

I like banter!

Mines rattle free. But I made it too for less than $100. Thinking of building a new one like this for mine now since I have better side mounting points.
All stock WJ for now since its a mostly DD.

My XRC is rattle free as well... and solid.
It is only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence.
