Looks like the spare and that widdle wadder cover your rear lights. Not really an attractive option personally. Even if I forgo the ladder (who wouldn't?) the right tail light is completely obscured.
Looks really great! Do you think you'd be able to make a product that hangs over the top and a little over the back? Looking for something to take advantage of that space above the back up camera. Would love to see your compression systems used this way as I think it would be a lot better than...
you don’t *need* to install the hitch stabiliser/feet. It’s just recommended for weight distribution.
Before I had my rucrak I used this for my bikes.
You could probably rig your tray to it.

Because clearance is not as simple as "what's lowest". Lift it to fit bigger tires to bring the lowest stuff up (diff etc) but also to get more travel/flex to keep level and keep more stuff from dragging.
I get what the guide is saying but I think it's more of a jumping off point to think about...
May be interested. Done a bit of snow wheeling myself and pulled a few people out of the snow. I'm on the sasquatch tires that I swapped onto my Black Diamond - meaning I also have a rear locker.
12k winch (synth), kinetic rope, soft shackles, snatch block (I switched over to one of those...
I've been thinking about something similar. Was looking at the Z Roadz lightbar mount as a possible component but would prefer something that also attaches down low.
22Winty also sells something like this thats more flat. Not sure I'm a fan of how it looks though...
I use a Kelty awning off the back of mine specifically for keeping my “kitchen” covered. Not sure if it would work for our needs. Biggest issue with these tailgate tents and jeeps/broncos is the tailgate swinging out instead of up. If all you need to do is keep your gear dry there is plenty of...
Besides the obvious lift the actual suspension performance was noticeable better. Damping was markedly improved. I believe the one I got mine from was an Outer Banks. I just made sure it was a 4 door with the 2.7.
I did also add a leveling kit in the front.
I have had this on for a while now and have absolutely loaded the shit out of my tailgate and bounced around offroad (spare tire bike racks, propane tank strapped to spare tire, bags strapped to spare tire, 2G rotopax full of water) without issues.
I have the SS3 diode dynamics pointed forward and the SS2s as ditch lights mounted to the SS3s lol. Only because I had them.
SS1s would be really small and what I would have chosen for ditch duty. Diode Dynamics is impressive with their lens tech.
I do not have the bike kit and just secure the wheels to the rack using soft tie downs. But we prob have different requirements. Mine are downhill bikes and though I dont scratch them in transport I really can't see myself worrying about scratches.
I am going to try bolting on some fork mounts...
Maybe not helpful to you at this point went with the RucRak to solve the mountain bike problem on my bronco. No impact on tailgate opening and camera can see ok (view is mostly bikes but still usable)
Oh so the opposite of your initial post - sounds a bit more plausible for sure. The D rings on the slide out tailgate look like they are not in the same position as the standard floor ones. Maybe measure the spacing and someone can check it against the standard ones. Looks too wide to me.
I dont think it's possible as the slide out tailgate requires removing the whole bottom of the trunk. There is this product that I know of though:
