- Injection molded landing pad for even weight distribution
- Locking pin next to the swivel for access to the rear compartment

Weight and load considerations
A bumper-mounted tire carrier shifts a heavy spare tire to the rear of the vehicle, which changes how the chassis and rear suspension carry load. Rear-end loads matter most on uneven ground, so expect more stress through the bumper mounts and the pivot than on a standard spare. Keep the spare well balanced on the landing pad and avoid carrying a tire heavier than the carrier is built for.
Because the carrier adjusts for different wheel heights and offsets, it is worth setting the position with the tire loaded and checking clearance at full swing. Recheck the latch and locking pin after rough trips, and keep the bumper’s bolts snug. A bumper upgrade often pairs with larger tires, so review tire size and tail-light clearance if you run more than one accessory.
- Check the latch and locking pin after rough trips
- Verify swing clearance with the tire fully loaded
- Inspect bumper mounts for cracks or loose bolts
