When using the kit with proximity sensors is there enough cable left for the 3rd brake light and camera?
Yes, for the Rough Country Spare Tire Relocation Bracket (specifically model #10526 for proximity sensors), you will have enough cable for the camera and brake light, but a small internal adjustment is required during installation.
The Challenge: Models with rear proximity sensors require the spare to move up 4.75 inches, which is a significant stretch for the factory harness.
The Solution: To get enough slack, you must separate the 3rd brake light bracket and re-route the internal wire. By pulling the wire through the internal housing and using the "lower" mounting hole on the brake light bracket as the new "top" mounting point, you gain the extra length needed without having to cut or splice wires.
Backup Camera: The factory backup camera cable typically has enough natural slack to accommodate the 4.75-inch lift without modification, though you should ensure it is properly seated in the new bracket's wire slot.

Can you recommend a hinged mount that will work with this RC tire relocator and fit nicely?
The Rough Country tailgate reinforcement will pair nicely. Rough Country Tailgate Reinforcement Kit for 18-25 Jeep Wrangler JL

What’s the difference between the “with” and “without rear proximity sensors” in terms of the design on the part?
Moves mounting points upward 4.75in on models with rear proximity sensors. Moves mounting points upward 2.25in on models without rear proximity sensors. Thanks for your inquiry.

Will I still need tailgate hinge reinforcement with this so the tailgate doesn't eventually start bowing from the extra weight?
It would be suggested to use the reinforcement to prevent excess stress to the hinges on your tailgate. Thanks for your inquiry.
