    What are you all using for your spare tire carrier? A while back I bought a high clearance rear bumper from a member and he kept the tire carrier and so now I’m searching for the best option. What do you recommend and or use?

    rear bumper bamf hc with swing outs.

    I understand under the bed but that’s partly why you have hc bumpers with swing outs otherwise I might as well take the swing outs off.

    Doubles as an actually functional bull bar, too.

    Order the appropriate spare tire mount from BAMF.

    You just need the mount? Sorry I thought you said just a high clearance. Isn’t it just something you can get from bamf?

    Reason I haven’t is because I thought I would see what other options are on the market if there was maybe something better, or more functional.

    Put the swing out on your HC bumper.

    cant remember last time i changed a spare
    my spare is taller to match my taller tires but aint no a/t tire, its just a p rated to be light as possible and used 6/32 to be even lighter because i might never use it
    i have had leaks but the tpms lets me know soon, so i can limp to tire shop or home and always have a pump and a safety seal plug kit, i could carry some slime with me to
    the last option is to change that spare

    Understandable. The biggest problem you'll probably run into is the bolt pattern on the swingout, and having to modify the carrier to it.
