Did you replace w/ rock sliders? If not you'll have no solid jack point. They make bumper adapters & so forth but off road you won't always have a choice of jacking positions. The rock sliders REALLY help you off road as well as provide solid jack point. Probably 1st piece of equipment. Even w/ stock front bumper,,,you'll take a rock w/ the tire on an angle, no problem... but you'll come down HARD on those rocker panels & bend 'em. The damage will cost more to repair than a set of rock slider.

The concern is not so much the hinges as the very weak tire carrier. If you're only doing it for a month, you should be ok. You would be better off saving the money you would spend on spare tire mount & just keep it in the back of the truck.

You say that now. Wait until you try to winch w/ a Hi-Lift
