I haven’t noticed any but I’m only running 37’s. I’ve only been rolling with it a couple of weeks too. That being said the bearings used are heavy duty and the spindle is solid. Also, when you open the carrier separately there is a catch that stops it from opening more than 90 degrees. This is to prevent it from swinging all the way open and damaging your Jeep. Basically it swings out as far as your tailgate would without the bumper.I see you got the LOD Destroyer tire carrier. I have 40s and the DV8 tire carrier is struggling so I am shopping around. The Destroyer is on my short list. How sturdy is that Destroyer? No sagging of the spare?
The other thing I really like is there are three rubber stops to prevent squeaking. One of them allows a handle placed on the back side of the gate to fit snugly in. This helps when initially adjusting carrier.
The mechanism used to hold the carrier to the tailgate is solid. No worries about it ever popping open when driving.
Let me know if you want pictures of anything. I can’t get them until next week as I’m in Thailand for work this week.
