I saw those, but couldn’t find the measurement on them just this review that seems they barely worked on a -12mm ?

edit:
hmm, for some reason I only see the link to the fish bone in the reply to your post and not the original post. Double edit: looks like suspension bump stops

Kinda thinking about something like this. I know others have used it and liked it just need to confirm it’s adjustable enough for -38mm offset

I saw that. I was under the impression that’s the dimension of the package?

I went right to the manufactures site, might want to double check but they are listed at the same length on all offroad parts sites

Anytime! Just double check me, I haven`t been wrong in a long time, like 2 minutes....

I’m attempting to ? you’d think it would be pretty important product info but it’s hard to find a clear answer. I don’t think the manufacturer knows either ? their online chat person is struggling to come up with an answer too

I would go with the Synergy through Amazon, it`s their dime to send them back
I know the TJ models are longer but you will have to take off the tailgate cover to tighten the nuts

Chat was no help, and part numbers are leading me to believe that it may just be a color difference between the red ones and the ones I’ve already got. Although somehow they claim my black ones are 7.25” long and that’s clearly not the case ?

Just got off the phone with Teraflex and they can’t tell me if the Alpha tire mount will work with mopar hinge reinforcement or how much adjustment it has to compensate for the offset of my wheels. So naturally I gave them all of my money and will be hoping that solution pans out. I like the idea of bringing the spare closer to the body if it has enough adjustment to do so, fingers crossed this doesn’t turn into a $1,400 project requiring me to remove the mopar hinge reinforcement for their version ?

Thanks for your help today man ? I’ll update for anyone searching for answers in the future when the Teraflex carrier arrives

 

[richk225]

You are 100% correct, the manufactures don`t even know what they have!! There is a lot of info on this issue in the JK section and the JL section. Package length wtf? Rroduct length Huh??
This amazes me. I`m loking at the difference between the standard Mopar hinge kit vs the XR hinge kit, even thats confusing based on backspacing etc.

It's hard to find, but I know for sure I've read on the forum somewhere that the Teraflex carrier has plenty of adjustment and it will pull the tire in close enough for you.

It is definetly an sweet looking unit! I`m sure you won`t have any issues with it but if you do I`ll send you my mailing address lol

Oh I didn't buy one. I just read the forums too much and have a semi-photographic memory. ? Just telling you that people have reported it will work with those types of low offset wheels and tuck them in enough.
