I love my carrier! If you look at the three holes on the carrier you will see the middle one on both sides has my white led for reverse lighting!
Is that a receiver rack? Holy Cow!! That thing sticks out there a mile.

Mine sags about the same (2"). I took it off today since I wont need to carry a spare tire for a while. Here is a pic of it wide open though.
I was just wondering about your hi lift mount? Is it custom or did you buy it? If so where?
Thanks.

Yeah it does... It's a big rack and then I got the 12" extension so I get the full use of he entire rack since some of it was covered by the carrier! I love it and I can fit two giant white coolers on the back for beach parties and camping! Lol

So is there any good way to adjust the vertical play in the carrier? I'm thinking of getting this carrier and don't want to have to lift it 2 inches every time to close it. I've seen the way genright makes theirs has an ovaled hole on the top join where it connects to the body, but I don't know if I'm a fan of that design if it were to come loose.
However, it looks like the johnny joint adjustments on the evo carrier can only pivot the top or bottom out horizontally (which would be great for keeping it rattle free) and there isn't a very good way to adjust vertically. Am I wrong?

You just need to adjust the joints in or out of he cage but make sure ou compensate for the weight of he tire or it'll sag

My wife has no issues opening and closing it. She can even manage to hold her purse at the same time.

Serious answer, these do not have much adjustment once installed. The key is to install it correctly. Lifting is really minimal to closing it.

I wanted to add this to the thread. In case anyone was looking at adjusting their EVO Tire Carrier so that it doesn't sag with a big tire installed when opening. It can be done! Thanks ttfhell for the pics.
