teraflex alpha hd questions

[rickinAZ]

This was touched upon by Travis (@Inkhero) at the beginning of this thread, but it bears repeating for those new to mounting larger tires on the Teraflex Alpha carrier. When I upgraded my JL from 35s to 37s my rear sensors didn't go completely bananas, but they did throw off false and oddly pointed alerts - to the point that I no longer trusted the system. For me it was a two step solution:

• Mounting the stem/TPMS at the 12:00 noon position to get them as far away from the interference zone as possible. The first time I heard this it sounded like voodoo, but it's effective. When I get my tires rotated, and forget to tell the guys at Discount Tire, the false alerts are back before I finish leaving DT's parking lot.
• Moving the tire inward an additional inch than the stock bumpstops allow. I bought these aftermarket bumpstops, cut all of the segments off and ran them with just the initial (longer) section intact. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLPCFMCQ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

Problem solved.

Holy thread resurrection!
The carrier itself slides in and out to accommodate different offset wheels. What you're describing sounds like your offsets are putting too much wheel within camera view. There is not fix for that that I am aware of.

Yep that's the issue I'm having. I did email Teraflex support and they confirmed they don't make any other size tubes. The agent mentioned that he knew a few people had added a machined spacer and longer bolts but that they didn't offer that themselves. So my current plan is to try recreate that -- was thinking of buying some washers so I can experiment a bit.

Problem solved.

I use the Quadratec bump stops which seem pretty similar to those. I was hoping to tuck my tire in really far, but I'm currently using the Mopar tailgate reinforcement. They have bolts sticking out that are pretty long which could actually touch my tire if I go too far in...maybe one day I'll cut them down a bit.
