so I received a free smittybilt xrc gen 1 bumper and tire carrier when I helped a buddy install a new poison spyder set. got the smittybilt installed on mine to replace the stock plastic bumper that I caved in on a rock and to get my spare off my tail gate. I wasn't there when he took off the smittybilt but on mine the carrier leans back slightly, it doesn't sit straight up. I know I can't expect much out of smittybilt especially a free one but has anyone had good luck with these things? is the lean just inherent in a crappy built product and I have to live with it until I get the cash to upgrade? I messed with the two tension bolts holding the carrier on but all it did was make it hard or easy to open, no change in the angle
