Mine has my tire, a shovel, and my jack when i pick it up. Thats about all that rides up there. UNTIL we go camping. The i have more legit space that i need. I have three boys we pack with us. Lotsa stuff to bring.
yea i noticed the one day when i did have my spare on and the other was in the garage it didnt feel like it was just a big windblocker up there anymore lol. but yea i like racks for people who use them. i had a shovel, lights and my hi lift jack.

Hi-lift for sure.
Lights might help you avoid a problem area, but a high lift will get you out of it it. Just my two cents

Doesn't block the tail light as much as it looks, and the plate has been moved.. this picture was to test fit the bumper.

Getting the 34" on the back definitely opened up a lot of space inside.. and doesn't block the rear window as much as I had figured.
