well they prolly didnt throw a whole 33" bag in...and whomever told you you should be running dual stabilizers needs some more time researching cuse if your steering suspension is at 100% you don't even need a stabilizer theres lots of guys even on here with hd steering and no stabilizers

(same way i did with my last jeep)
This is the final outcome of using a spare jeep wrangler rear tire carrier stock mount
but too get to this outcome you need to drill holes in two extra stock roof rails got em for 10 bucks at a JY. yakima racks are pretty thick bars so we had too cut the middle bars with a sawzaw and slightly bend them so we could slide the tire mount underneth so it would mount too the roof rails sturdy. as you can see here
we caulked the ends so water wont get in. we were gonna weld em back together but figured if i ever wanna change this setup that would mean id havta cut up the roof rails. didnt wanna do that. here is tire all mounted up.
Also like i said we mounted my rustys gas tank skid and my rear bumper made my Nates4x4. it was a pain in the *** to get everything to line up, we used a floor jack because the skid is so heavy and it scratched the crap outta my paint job on the skid plate.. oh well was bound to happen anyways. heres a pic
anyways in the end i ended up using a new tail pipe mount so my tail pipe would mount straight. the PO mounted it crooked so it rubbed against my leafs and made a loud annoying squeaking sound everytime i hit a slight bump. but after using a heavy duty pry bar we got everything all lined up and mounted.

shouldny be hard my man, your exsisting tailpipe mount i shall assume is either bent/hanging or something of the sorts otherwise you wouldnt rly run into a problem with it. what your gonna havta do is cut the previous omunting bracket off the tailpipe unless you can remove it an easier way.. now your tailpipe should be basically freely hanging in the back you should be able to move it up high enough where you can get the skid n tie in brackets lined up n started then just let the tailpipe free and tighten the bolts in for the skid. then just mount a new bracket on. if this doesnt make sense take me a pic of your current setup back there and ill try dictating it to you from your picture or i can post a pic of my final outcome. just lmk.
