Carrier with a 40, the tire is in the way but it doesn’t prevent one handed operation

Being that I have a 2dr this time I am constantly in and out of the back so I'm really leaning toward this carrier and looks like I won't have an issue with 37s thanks

That’s what they came with? I’ve only had mine a couple months and they came with little bumpers not those.

Yep, that’s what mine came with. I’d even ordered a set of the brake pads planning to use them, but ultimately I didn’t need them.

Is there any way to switch the lugs so there’s 2 on the top and 1 on the bottom?

Go 8 lug with a kit or get one tons or get wontons or re-drill the pattern

Several companies make a spacer that will flip the lug pattern. But you'll likely have to extend the tailgate bumpers if the Evo carrier uses them. I would not recommend the Zone one though. Studs stripped on my 3rd tire rotation due to shit cheap metal.

Thanks! Didn’t think of using a spacer to do that. Really appreciate the help.

Did you have to use a wheel spacer using the factory wheels ? I have one on order and I am also running 35s on factory wheels.

Yes. I have one of those smittybilt spare tire relocation brackets.

Why would you want that? It would make it harder to mount the spare.

I ended up using the aev third brake light to help keep it legal, but the light and bracket are too wide to work with the stock wheel as you can see in the picture. The single lug on top puts the narrow portion of the wheel on top. I just ordered a set of spidertrax 1.5” wheel spacers as a temp solution until my aftermarket wheels get here. Plan on selling them as soon as I get my wheels delivered and lift installed.

Just installed mine this morning and have to say it was much easier than anticipated and fit great :thumb:

So for those that have mounted the 4 gal rotopax on this I see some went with the single center mount and some have the two side mounts. Is there really any difference? I don't see why I would need to go buy the big universal dual mount plate if it will mount in the center just fine. I do worry about it being slightly unstable but I guess if you snug it to the tire it shouldn't move around a whole lot?

I just installed mine with single mount. Snugged it to the tire really good and worked fine from me. I only have one run with it on. I did 3 day trip on the Mojave trail and it did fine.
