[QUOTE="macleanflood, post: 451538, member: 23653"] Mine was all over the place until I put in Morryde hinges and reinforcement bars. The sheet metal was even snapped close to the hinges in the vent area...I need to weld that... PO through 35s on this JK without a regear...and they put a wheel spacer on the back tire carrier so the spare would fit... adding even more weight. I need to figure out if I can remove the studs from the OEM carrier and swap them with longer ones so the spare will fit without the spacer...the Morryde reinforcement bar pushed out the carrier enough not to need it. If you put on reinforcement consider a spare tire blank plate to cover the vent...my flaps were shot and dust would get everywhere in the back...the plate threads through the reinforcement bars and OEM carrier...makes quite a sandwich but works. -Mac [/QUOTE]
