Okay, let's get something cleared up. NONE of these carriers use studs. Tey are all held in place using the four BOLTS that hold the tow loops brackets onto the bumper and frame. Thats 2 bolts on the right and 2 on the left. Some carriers use a third BOLT on the right side bracket to minimze shifting. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
T,
The "studs" they are talking about are the threaded studs for securing the spare in place, not the bols that actually secure the carrier itself.
Having said that, the factory one uses 3 studs, the fourth opening is where the tombstone-looking license plate mount passes through.
Incidentally, a chromer I spoke with tonight said the Predator is really hard to get a good chrome finish on as the welds are not neatly done.
