Install tips for Evo corners and tire carrier?

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the evo corners, tire carrier, and lights from Northridge 4x4! (Got rid of my teraflex tire carrier) So that brings me to my next question, are there any good tips anyone has on the install? I know I should use a ratchet strap for the corners and everything, but what about the tire carrier? I don't want to end up having it sag a lot when I have it opened, ideally I'd like to be able to push it closed and drop the pins in without much, if any lifting.

Looked for a write up but didn't see one, thanks!
 
Fine tune the adjustments maybe so it pivots equally in either direction? I would have to take a closer look at how it attaches.

Good nutsert tool, strap and clamp good. Drill pilot holes with them on. Primer and paint holes and light holes. I used a 4.5 hole saw for lights. Then good silicone. Not the big tube of cheap stuff. Get the good rtv stuff. Measure twice. Then bolt on from one end and work your way back so the corners bend like the body panels.
