Default Spare Tire Question

I just installed a leveling kit, new wheels and tires. The new wheels have different backspacing and the spare is hanging of the back in the wind not contacting the ????? I am drawing a blank as to what they are called. I know I need to replace the ???? with larger ones. I cannot even run a search because I cannot remember what the ???? are called. Thanks i advance for the assistance.

They're tailgate bump stops, Daystar makes some that you can pick up through Quadratec for $15.
