[QUOTE="Qaddiction, post: 433912, member: 18430"] I actually had a friend of mine cerakote the tire carrier. It's a thin ceramic coating. The 4 items you have left are shims. You are correct on the placement in your picture. I doubled mine up for a proper fit on my JK. I initially tried just one shim in both locations (like you have in you picture), but there was still a gap. Adding a second shim to both allowed me to tighten the bolts without bending any sheet metal. Depending on how thick your coating is could play a factor. The cerakote is thin. Good luck with your install. I'm happy with mine so far. [/QUOTE]
