3. Close the Tailgate and Tire Carrier and push/pull on the tire to check for any rattles or
movement, there should be virtually none. If there are any rattles or movement, adjust
the turnbuckle in ¼ TURN increments until the movement is gone.
4. Open the tire carrier fully and be sure the Turnbuckle Linkage fits into the channel on the
Tire Carrier without interference. If the Turnbuckle Linkage hits the channel, the Spindle
Housing is not seated properly and you must repeat the seating and tightening procedure
outlined in sections E and G of this manual.
5. The bumper should match the fender flares and have even gaps around the Corner
Tubes, adjust as necessary.
6. The Tire Carrier should swing with mild resistance, if there is too much the lower O-Ring
can be removed or a thin washer can be placed between the Retention Disc and the
Tire Carrier Spindle if necessary.
N. FINISHING DETAILS
1. Install the Plastic Tube end in the horizontal tube of the Tire Carrier.
2. Install the Plastic Plugs in the tailgate where the stock rubber bumpers were removed.
3. Shovel Install
– Most shovels will need to have the handle cut down slightly in order to fit
properly. The most important thing is to have the blade of the shovel fit tightly against the
tire in order to provide enough resistance to hold the shovel in place. Its best to leave
enough of the handle in place that it sits on the outside of the tubing where the tire carrier
and spindle are welded together, but not hit the corner of the vehicle when fully opened.
