answer 2
You probably would. It sits very close to the bumber so you may not be able to put a cooler on it or something high because your tire will be in the way

Question

I recently purchased this item. I have a 2" hitch, but the carrier really leans left and right. Can I fix this?

The carrier itself is sturdy, it just rocks even with a little weight is set on it.

An anti-rattle kit for a 2 inch hitch will help make this Ultra-Tow cargo carrier more stable but at this time we do not carry the kit.

answer 2
Sounds like your receiver tube is either worn or oversized. You can either have some shim material tack welded to the tongue of the carrier to take up the slack, or have the receiver tube tapped in the side and install a tightening bolt.
