I just purchased my lift and headlocks along with 38 inch nitto’s. I don’t usually run a spare but I kind of want too however I’m not sure I can with out big this tire is .. I know I can do it with a Rusty’s Offroad tire carrier but I think it might get in the way or look stupid. Anyone have a spare they run that is that big?

38 Inch Ridge Grapplers on a Terra Flex Alpha HD carrier. 392XR (I think all XR's) have the Mopar relocation brackets as well. No issues with it on road or off. It does take up quite a bit of the "view" in the rear view mirror.

38” Nitto Trail Grapplers on KMC Tank beadlocks. I have a full spare mounted to the Teraflex Alpha HD carrier and hinge. Even at the higher mounting point the spare *barely* touches the OEM steel bumper. So far zero issues and the Teraflex hinge is beef.

Which High lift mount is that and does it hit your taillight when the door is open?

I ran a 38" spare for years with a Mopar tailgate reinforcement and Teraflex Alpha HD tire carrier. It fit perfectly with the Rubicon steel bumper. It's heavy and pretty much blocks all rear view but doable. I prefer a heavy spare on a bumper/frame mounted tire carrier but the matching rear Poison Spyder bumper has an integrated hitch but does not have a tow rating.

I changed my setup because I want to tow and the spare gets in my way.

My wife's JLUR has a 37" spare on a Motobilt carrier, and will have a 40 on it once the 37's wear out.
