This is the one I put on my 24 JLUR w/37's about a month ago and it allows you to put the tire as close as you want. It's a relatively easy straight forward install. Getting everything adjusted so the door closes properly, after, you have the spare on can be a little tricky but it's still a relatively easy install.
Yeah, I had heard that as well. Initially it was placed at the 6 o'clock position so I rotated it to move it away from the bumper. Low and behold it worked! At least until I got the tires rotated a month or so later and the problem came back regardless of the TPMS position. It's definitely a hit or miss fix and since I really appreciate the sensors working properly, and plan to move up on tire size, I opted to just move the tire up. I'm also about to install a rear view camera mirror so the tire blocking view out the back won't be an issue much longer.
I went with the Smittybilt HD Pivot system. I have 37x13.50/17” Toyo Open Country M/T’s on Fuel Rincon headlocks and it holds it nice and solid. Heavy duty, adjustable to as close to gate as you want, unit replace OEM hinges and utilizes the OEM camera and has a relocation kit for third brake light that moves light inside spare wheel. About $750 unless you can find a sale. Think I got mine for about 599.00 on sale.
No, I didn't have anything but the standard rear gate with no reinforcement which is pretty flimsy. I looked at multiple different types and for what I wanted the TeraFlex JL Alpha HD mount fit my needs the best. Like everything good, they aren't cheap but it's a nice quality piece.
Which road... wait you are in Quebec too...so all roads!!Totally, that exactly my set-up.
