All stock (for now)
I am trying to decide if I should just get a $100 standard rear cross member and use the stock spare tire swing for my 1983 CJ7 or spend $600 for the rear cross member with reciever and tire carrier attached (see link).

When the day comes that my jeep is finished, I plan to maybe have a 2.5in lift. I'm not sure what size tires. I don't plan on doing any 4wheeling. I will also have a steel body.
What are your thoughts?? I am leaning more to the stock set up but am affraid of putting too much weight on the stock tire swing if I choose to get big tires.
