Also i agree with you on the geting it down part, took 2 people to lift it up to me and then i had to pull from the top to get that tire up there.

I used this set-up for awhile on my 2004 H2, but that tire really is heavy so I ended up using the rear bumper mount. The OEM basket is OK, I believe it is rated for 160 pounds, but it was a bit flimsy for the tire.

I still have the set-up in storage: OEM Factory GM basket as described above which connects directly to factory cross bars. I added a Thule or Yakima tire carrier. Too large to ship, but if anyone in Las Vegas wants to try it, let me know.
