can anyone shed light how to fit a 35 on the JL tire rack? Isn’t it adjustable? If so how? I’m at shop now they can’t figure it out....any info will help thanks

It's not adjustable up/down, only the light portion(CHMSL) is adjustable from the factory. I've seen some 35's clear the bumper without mods, but it was very close. Most people use a spare tire relocation bracket to move the factory mount up.
One of the many options.

If it makes you feel any better, here it is three years later, and I just ran into the same problem. I looked at it before I ordered the tires. It looked like it had an adjustment. After finally resorting to taking it all apart, not only does it not have an adjustment, there is no reasonable way I can fabricate something in my shop to move my third brake light up. I'm pretty sure the tire would clear the cutout in my aftermarket bumper, but now I have to figure out what I'm going to do about this problem with the third brake light. Damn it! As if I hadn't spent enough on this build already.
