Wouldnt a 37" spare be way to much weight for the factory tailgate/hinges?
I have a 37" spare tire and rim and need to mount it. I ordered the Rugged Ridge Modular rear bumper w/ tire carrier however it wont be available til mid October according to OMIX.
Just looking for an expensive way to carry my spare until the other bumper arrives

It should be okay until you can get a tire carrier. I wouldn't run like that indefinitely. I have a 35" on mine right now. I'm just waiting for the Shrockworks carrier.

I have a 35 with 4" BS on the stock mount. It does not rest on the bumper so I flipped my hitch upside down so the tire rests on the hitch. It works for now until I have the $ for the LOD or rockhard system.

I have a 35" KM2 on the stock Rubicon rim mounted on the stock tire carier using a Spider Trax 1.5" spacer. I could have used a 1" spacer but the 1.5" is what was on hand at the time.

The problem I had without the spacer it hits the 3rd brake light. The spacer fixes that issue but now the tire covers the light

Good to know, I am trying to mount the same setup right now. I am thinking about cuting the light bracket and inserting a spacer and bolting it back together. Did it hit your bumper too?
