I just recently upgraded my tire carrier to a beefy Barricade one to hold the heavy 35 inch spare tire. In the reviews most people got a broken door check from it. So instead of paying about the same price for a door check that is again going to break I bought this! And that is exactly what mine did. Not 24 hours after installing the spare tire carrier it broke. I installed this and you just barely open the door with the handle, let it go and the door slowly opens. I am going to add a paracord type door check to go with it so it does not over extend. Better to be safe than sorry. It did take a little over an hour to install...but only because of having to pull off the inside trim pieces on my JK Rubicon and drilling, and cutting, etc. But it is a nice add to my Jeep!
