The under bed carrier doesn't connect to the box in any way. It only connects to the frame. When you convert a standard stepside to a spare carrier fender, there are reinforcements that need made due to the weight of the carrier and tire on the bed side.

I could be mistaken, but I thought he was referring to the fender mounted spare.
