Oversized Spare Carrier

[2nd 392]

I was looking for the weight on the RedRock but didn't see one. I would appreciate a link for the TF aluminum one if you have it.

these, just go to TF, ET, 4WP, etc and search Teraflex relocation brackets. Simple install, I didn’t even unplug the inside the gate wires, just set the carrier on a trash can to bolt them on. Bump stop spacer kit included.

They were a little cheaper (~$10) at the TF site but I couldn’t get it to work at the time.

The sport/willys have a different carrier then the rubicon. I couldn’t fit a 33” spare on my willys without removing the 3rd brake light. Once I removed the 3rd brake light the spare fit on the carrier but does rub a little on the bumper. I got the mopar relocation bracket to remount the 3rd brake light. It was cheaper for me to do the that compared to getting a new carrier.

I have a 2021 Willy’s 4dr stock carrier and 35’s no issue at all. Still have 3rd brake light.. just moved it up one hole

My spare was hitting the 3rd brake light even when I raised it up. It wouldn’t allow the spare to fit all the way on the carrier.

Mopar oversize tire carrier and tailgate reinforcement. Blocked the 3rd brake light when I went from 35's to 37s a few years ago. I bought an EAG relocation bracket. Mopar copy at half the price, and does not block the camera. Solid. No tire movement. No worries. JLUR is a 2018 so it's been carrying big tires for awhile.

Sorry, but don't waste your money. I had this set up my JL and the spare made the tail gate bounce. You want something that will support your tail gate.

I have a 35 and have the factory spare tire Carrier. The only thing I had to remove was the rear camera cover.

This. I'm running 35x12.50 on stock carrier without issues.

Hell, my gf's JKUR is running a 37 on the factory carrier, with one of those riser/spacers to allow for clearance. It's had a 35 or larger on it for nearly 100k miles with no issues.

Where are you located? I have a bracket I’d let go for $50 bucks. I’m in CT. Fits a 35 easy. Will lose some vision out the back

Using a heavy steel bracket, and panel. I went the other way, 35/12.50’s that weigh a couple pounds less than the factory Falken 285/70 MT option, and a couple pound relocation brackets. Since replaced with an adjustable Alpha due to the new wheels -1 mm offset. Without reinforcement, the new wheels are 10 lbs lighter than the stock ones, the combo is 2 lbs lighter than the stock wheel-285/70 KO2 combo.

remove the cover first and try again

I tried. Still not fitting. I think I’m gonna get an adapter to lift it two inches.

is it upsides down? I am running 35's and zi have plenty of room.

I just lifted my 2021 Wrangler JL to put 35 tires on it. Bought a used 35 for the spare. I now know that there has to be some modification for me to be able to have 35 as a spare. They look really expensive. What are my options...if any?

I have discovered that the reason the 35 won’t fit on the spare is that the center hole isn’t large enough to go on the rear camera bezel. The new spare has only a 2” diameter while the original is over 2 1/2“. The new spare will not slide on far enough.

this was what saved my life and it was cheap, easy to install lifted my 35 almost 2 inches above bumper.

Will a wheel spacer work ?
