[QUOTE="asmith1911, post: 455294, member: 23915"] JeepJeezy - I just installed the same on my wife's JKU. Love the way the tire is closer to the tailgate and it's much more quiet than the previous temporary option I used. That said, the tailgate seemed to be aligned when I was hanging the cast aluminum bracket and tire carrier assembly. When I installed the wheel and tire (35" x 12.5 with 17" alum wheels) it feels like the tailgate is dragging a bit when I open and close it. Any recommendations / tricks on realigning? I'm not convinced taking the tire off again will help as it seemed ok prior to hanging it in the first place. [/QUOTE]
