Designed for those looking for a one-hand operation when trying to open the tailgate on your Jeep. The tailgate/tire carrier swing open seamlessly with one hand. No latches or pins to undo. Bumper is midwidth design constructed from CNC laser cut & formed 3/16" HRP&O steel for a precise fit. 1/4" thick brackets tie the bumper to the frame with internal floating angle brackets sandwiching the frame rails with supplied 5/8" grade 8 bolts creating a rocksolid mounting providing ultimate strength & rigidity for the swing-out tire carrier. Includes two heavy-duty 1" thick recovery shackle tabs welded inside & out for superior strength. Tire carrier swings seamlessly on the best in the market bombproof spindle assembly. The 3" carrier hinge housing rides on Timken tapered roller bearings & the 1 1/2" diameter spindle shaft is custom CNC machined. "Not a cutoff trailer spindle like some competitors." Custom CNC machined Billet aluminum cap finishes it off. Grease is fully contained with its heavy-duty wheel bearing seal at the bottom. With this setup, you can truly run up to a 40" tire! Tire carrier is CNC laser cut from 3/16" HRP&O steel pieces that are keyed together, assembled in a fixture, & mig welded together. The swing-out tire carrier has a custom-designed rod end link system that attaches to the tailgate plate, so they open & close in tandem. This innovative design keeps the two pieces perfectly aligned when open & tight when closed. The custom rod end has right & left-hand threads for ease of adjustment, setting preload with the tire carrier, & its custom urethane bump stops up against the tailgate plate for a rattle free install. The fully adjustable tire mount adjusts up & down/in & out to accommodate a wide variety of tire sizes. Tire mount includes provisions for 2" LED light for a third brake light (not included), CB antenna, & optional hi-lift jack mount. Ships bare steel.
