I am getting 35" KO2's installed next Saturday. Will I need to move my 3rd Brake Light with the bigger spare?

Thanks

Disregard. I searched and found my answer.
Sorry for premature post!

If it needs moved, it is adjustable by removing a couple torx screws and extended it out to allow it to clear.
This is what the earlier post states.

Are you putting the 35's on your factory wheels?

I put a set of 315/70-17 ko2's on my factory wheels, and shifted the 3rd brake light to the higher position. The wider tire was flexing the 3rd brake light bracket into the rear wiper. Also, the light was not as high over the tire as it was in the original position with the factory tires. Heres a couple pics, taken while crouched down at typical car driver height and about 15 feet behind the Jeep. I was curious about the perspective from other drivers. Also to note, the Jeep was otherwise fully stock.

I am using stock wheels and same tires. So did you change it in a different way?
Thanks for the information.
