This is a perpendicular style latch.  This means, in most cases, the u-bolt of the latch must travel from front to rear of the vehicle!  Do not use this latch if your designs requires a parallel style latch.  We have them as well.

The EMS Offroad Tire Carrier Kits are the only kits that will allow for professional results, without searching all over for the hard to find parts. If you need a different kit, or individual parts, we keep these items in stock and ready to ship.
