I just installed my LOD bumper and noticed a small amount of movement in the tire too. With the factory mount I saw no movement. I'm wondering if it is because the tire, now mounted on the LOD carrier, essentially moves with the frame of the vehicle, while the body (which is rubber isolated to the frame) can move a little bit independently of the frame. Possibly we are noticing the tire move relative to the body but in reality it is solid relative to the frame. Just a thought,,,
gsmoak - Can you get your back window to open with the Hi-Lift jack installed in the position that you have it mounted? I had to flip the Hi-Lift jack around so the base of the jack was next to the tailgate handle. Maybe I messed something up when I had the jack installed like you have it (the window would just hit the jack base).
