On the landmarks there is the BAL drop down slide out tire carrier. I just installed one on my Big Country. There are 2 long bolts that attach the tire to the carrier. I can see that it would take 2 men to get the tire lifted off these bolts. I am wondering if the two washers and lock nuts are necessary to hold the tire to the carrier as when it is up against the bottom of the rv there is no way the tire would bounce off those 6" long bolts. So my question is for those who have this carrier do you think it is necessary to install those nuts???
