Does the rear 3rd brake light bracket extend?

[JPS RUL]

I am having the dealer install my 315/70r17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers On a Rubicon with steel bumpers, and he says they won't clear the bumper or the 3rd brake light bracket Doesn't the bracket extend up? Anyone with these tires have an issue with bumper clearance or brake light bracket? If I need to purchase an extension, I was looking at the Rustys offroad.

The brake light bracket does extend up. Maybe 2” or more. I can’t remember exactly but it’s pretty trivial to do. Not sure about the relocation bracket. I had to install one due to my bike rack. I chose this one from Amazon:

Works great and was easy to install. Of course there are several others that are bigger name brands.

Thanks, I found the answer on youtube also. Just moving the bracket up one bolt hole does it!
Thanks
