I have a 2021 JLU Willys. I recently put on 285-75-17 (Toyo RT) tires and the spare is rubbing on the bumper.

What's the easiest/ most cost effective solution to address this?

1. Rubicon tire carrier - will this carrier provide more clearnace over the standard carrier? I think read somewhere that it might.


2. Relocation bracket
- This would add to the overall weight on the tailgate pushing it beyond the 85lbs max rating.
- Would prefer not to have to drop additional $$$ for hinge reinforcement


3. Other options?

Just ask @cosine he knows!
If it's resting in that indent I would leave it as long as you can close the tailgate, if you can't close the tailgate or it wants to rise up when closing you may need a new tire relocation mount. Just resting some weight on the bumper is no biggie though as long as the gate closes ok.
