Does anybody know how to fix the smittybuilt tire carrier from rattling when just driving down the road? It never did it until I got my full sized spare and put it on and now it rattles like crazy. My friend has the same bumper but doesn't rattle nearly as bad.

Is your tailpipe hitting it?
Mine did, and I had to cut it at the very end, then put on one of those shineese turn downs.
But yeah there will always be a bit of rattle just from the tire carrier. It sticks out so far, that gravity will make it wear a little more too.
