An awesome, heavy duty hinge setup! I don't have to worry about adding too much weight on the tailgate now. I have a tailgate table and will be going to 35's for the next set of tires. The only reason I docked one star is because of the price (I purchased the tire mount as well), and the fact that the tailgate doesn't quite open as far as it used to - it only opens to 90 degrees instead of a few inches past that. Also, it was a super easy install!
After moving up to 37’s I needed a new spare tire hinge and carrier. Since I take my German Shepherd with me a lot, my biggest requirement was it had to open with the tailgate and open easily. I decided to spend a little more and I am definitely glad I did. It was a breeze to install and works perfectly. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who is looking for a new spare tire and hinge.

Teraflex Heavy Duty Hinged Tire Carrier w/33's3 years ago
I guess my 33in tires are just heavy enough over stock that they would break the stock tailgate stop. After replacing the factory stop a couple of times, finally decided to spring for the Teraflex Heavy Duty Hinged Tire Carrier.
My 17 year old son took lead on installing it. I had him watch the Tereaflex video for the install on Youtube. The install went just like the video and want to say it took us about an hour.
Anyway, super happy with it, even though it seemed a little expensive. I guess you get what you pay for though.
I should have bought this a long time ago. The 34in tire was causing the tailgate to rattle and bang on bumps. This solved all my issues. Very strong and all rattles and bangs gone. The tailgate now shuts solid and better than new. I highly recommend Teraflex and this carrier. Installs easily and performs great.
Will this carrier work with the stock third brake light?

A:
You can use the stock tire carrier with the stock third brake light on it with this Heavy Duty Hinge. If you also get the Teraflex Adjustable Tire Mount, p/n 4838130, it comes with a bracket that lets you use just the light from the stock 3rd brake light with it.
