Default Tire carrier latch for bumper/carrier

So Im about to start my tire carrier build but am not sure what kind of latch to use. What have you guys used that worked good, what system, and where you got it. I want something thats going to be strong and not let the carrier rattle all over the place.

I found this one from A to Z fab and like it, but seams a little whimpy to me. But im not sure

this is what i used. i plan on building a new bumper, i dont like the looks of the one i have now and my hinge point moves a little. however the latch holds tight with my 31 on it.

Zach's stuff is far from wimpy and that latch system works awesome. He custom built my tire carrier on a bumper that I built and it is awesome. It never rattles, and holds my 35" Swamper on a steel wheel just fine. I would go with the AtoZ set up as I can attest to the quality.

I used a Bear Claw. I just finished the fab on my bumper & it works great. My dad has one on his TJ & has had no problems.
