x2 otherwise you're just gonna have a bent/ warped spot where the carrier bolts. The cherokee tire carrier will hold up to a 31 i think. Although the spare tire carrier on the inside will hold a 31 as well. as long as you dont go any bigger it should hold fine.

way back, the 80s ones had tire carriers, as well as some early 90s fleet issue cherokees. here is one mounted on a newer xj
as for the S10 one you posted about, the rear of the late S10s have that curve to them, you'd have to deal with the mounts... old Bronco 2s were box style like the XJ, look for one of those instead...
