Did you get an alignment after the new tires? Do you have cam bolts?
The factory rack is rated for 250lbs. Not for nothing, but it may be the quality of the rack and the accessory mounts. Put the spare back underneath. I ran mine under there until I had the cash for a rear bumper. It’s not a big deal to have it under there. I bet the roof rack will stop loosening as well. Have you tried nylock nuts on the basket?
After the lift was installed, I brought it to a real alignment shop, they didn't need to adjust anything. Said it was near perfect. "Lucked out on that one". As for the rack, it's a cheapo one till I can get a Gobi or something better. I got some 2-1/2" u-bolts, added some 3/8 id rubber hose to them, and clamped the rack to the existing rack. Worked out to my advantage, no more shiffting around. Even the 4 clamps that came with the rack are good, but apparently just needed a little extra support. I put the tire back up and double ratcheted it down. Seems to be working out.
