Quadratec Spare Tire Relocation Kit Reviews
I changed my tires from the factory BFGs 285x70 R17 to 35x12.5 R17. Since the new spare tire (tire + wheel) would not (actually did not fit since I tested before installing this kit) work with the OEM spare tire carrier - Spare tire was about 1 inch to long at the bottom, hitting the steel bumper and preventing the tailgate from closing - I decided to try this kit instead of the MOPAR relocation kit (save some bucks). I'm really glad I did.
This kit is very straight forward and easy to install. Recommend watching the video (kudos to Quadratec here).
My JLU came with the MOPAR tailgate reinforced hinge, so I didn't need to use all the spacers provided with the Quadratec kit on the hinge side of the tailgate.
This relocation kit also renders the OEM tailgate bump stock ineffective - is too short and will not do its job. You will need to buy a new bump stop. I bought the Quadratec Tailgate Spare Tire Bump Stop kit.
Couple of words here ... 1) upon re-installing the spare tire carrier in the new (raised) position, I almost ran out of cable (camera / 3rd breaklight) but managed to get it mounted with a little wiggle and some patience ... 2) Check the combined weight of your new tire + wheel to compare with the manufacturer's spec / recommended weights for the tailgate. In my case, the new AEV Borah wheel + 35"x12.5" tire weighted 99.6 lbs - not a problem since I have the reinforced hinge kit already installed.
Easy install and way less expensive than buying a whole bumper with a spare tire mount. Install took less than an hour and fit my new 37x12.5R17 Ridge Grapplers. Super solid, would highly recommend
