Two 37" Tire Issues I Need Help With

[CodyDTX]

Two first world problem's that I am confident there are solutions for are as follows:

1. My 37's are the biggest ones made...that's why I purchased these trail grapplers. But it's tripping out my rear parking sensors and driving my wife bonkers. In reverse it beeps like we are approaching something bc the tire is so close. Anyone have this problem? Is there a solution that doesn't have me buying a different rear tire carrier?


2. I installed the Mopar tailgate reinforcement kit + Oversize spare combo but this 37x12.50r17 trail Grappler still barley touches the bumper. It squeaks a little at times but still really quiet and I'm happy with it. I feel pretty confident I installed it correctly, but has anyone else have this happen or does yours clear it with room to spare? I ask bc I saw another JL with a different 37" recently and there was a ton of daylight from the tire to the bumper. No way this Trail Grappler is THAT much larger than whatever that other 37" was.

It's going to sound weird but try rotating the tire on the carrier and putting the valve in a different position. That makes a difference for me and my 35s. Also, you can just turn off the parking aid at the dash. It stays off.

I'm not familiar with the Mopar carrier as I have the CavFab Elite but aren't you supposed to still use bump stops like stock?

You will need to get a spare tire relocation kit which will raise the tire several inches. I had the same problem, but I have 35"s. Hopefully it should solve it.
