Reviews for Skyjacker TGSJK1 Tailgate Saver Spare Tire Support for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Works great but was difficult to install because my JK has a trailer hitch.

Seems to work. It comes in 3 pieces but I was able to use only two and it still works. My tire are pretty wide. No more tail gate bounce.

Install was pretty straightforward and simple. The supplied instructions are clear and easy to understand, just make sure you read them before. Materials seam to be good quality. There are a few ways to tailor fit the support depending on the size of your tire. I've had bad tailgate rattling for a long time and after a quick drive it seems that this product can help. We'll see how it holds up over time.

2017 JKU Sahara with factory tow package. This product did not work out for me. I would give it 5 stars for quality and finish, 1 star for garbage instructions. It may be a 5 start product for some but I could not use it without a major installation effort. I tried to break loose the factory hitch mounting bolts/nuts with no luck. The bolts face the back so the nuts are buried above the hitch, no ratchet access and an open end wrench would not budge them. The only option is to completely remove the OEM bumper which also means removing the Rough Country muffler skid plate previously installed, it uses two bumper bolts which were very difficult to get to. It's possible that some time in the future I will have the time an initiative to do all that but not today. It went on the shelf in my garage.

Have yet to install this product because it requires me to remove the entire rear bumper (I have an aftermarket steel bumper and 35" tires), and I'm still not certain this product will function without the tire mount relocator mentioned in the fine print of this product description. I may hold onto this and install later, because I don't feel like paying for return shipping. I hope it eventually works because my tailgate rattle is annoying and tire carriers are too expensive.

Bad design ended up damaging my jeep
