Hey! My tire carrier is sagging and the latch and bolt aren’t aligning when I close it. Nothing looks off, any tips to fix?
If you are running oversized tires, that would be a cause of the sag, then yes. Moving the tire off of your tailgate would correct the sag. The weight of the oversized tire may have caused damage, so if the sag is not corrected, you will need to replace the hinges at that point.

Does this bumper come with a bracket to mount the 3rd break light over the tire?
No, you must order a license plate and 3rd brake relocation kit separately.

Is there a Jerry Can Mount that works with this tire carrier?
Take a look at these two options, as they use the tire mount bracket and not the framing of the tire carrier to support the jerry can mount:

I am running a set of 5x5 wheels on my tj is there a different tire mount plate that can be purchased to replace the 5x4.5 that it comes with?
A wheel adapter is available to change from a 5x.4.5 to a 5x5. There is not a different plate available, so wheel adapters are how you make the change: Rugged Ridge 15201.11 1.375" Wheel Adapters for Jeeps Changing bolt pattern from 5x4.5" to 5x5"

Does the tire carrier come with any time of bearing or is it just a post with a sleeve over it? If there are no roller bearings of any type, how well does this post with a sleeve hold up? thank you, Matt
This does not have any bearings,a simple pivot post is used. There are not any complaints with the functionality of the swing.
