Just received the carrier kit I ordered from Jim Carter. The long portion fits in the sloped track as it should. But I'm wondering if it's too long for my truck. In the upward position, it extends to the back of the truck, directly below the tailgate.

I also have no idea what the shorter bracket is for. Would anyone happen to have a photo of a complete installed spare tire carrier?

I love this website, but I have to say, it's got the worst search function I've ever come across. Perhaps it's me?

Thanks for your help as I figure out my first Stovebolt rig!
