Im in the market for a new tire carrier. After upgrading to 35s (on 15" wheels) Im pretty certain I need a tire carrier. The Crawler Concepts, Ace, and JCR versions all are hinged with the little heim joint link tying it to the tailgate. They all appear to be very strong, but they seem to stick way out away from the body. The EVO carrier seems like it would hold the tire in closer to the body as it bolts directly to the tailgate itself. What are your opinions on the 2 different styles of carrier? Are there any others I should be considering? I was able to look over the CC, Ace, and JCR versions this weekend at Jeep Beach, but there was no Evo carrier that I could find...
