Spare tire Carrier

[Derosier78]

I think I already know the answer to this question, I just installed the rubicon steel rear bumper on my Willys, I have 33’s and the spare rubs when closing the gate, the rubicons must have a different factory spare tire carrier that sits higher? I temporarily removed the plastic piece so the gate would close, it only looks bad when gate is open,

You can get an adapter that lifts it higher from most aftermarket companies.

You can also temporarily take some PSI out of the spare until you figure out your final solution. I had the same issue with 34’s on my Sahara. Dropping the PSI did the trick until I swapped carriers.

can I see a photo with the tail gate open? I found one sort of local to me and was thinking of removing the plastic piece. I have a rubicon and 35's.
