Quadratec Spare Tire Relocation Kit for 18-26 Jeep Wrangler JL

I put 35' on my new 2025 Jeep Wrangler JL Sport S. Because I am new to the Jeep world, I did not even think about what happens with the spare when it has the oversized tire. So I had to do a bunch of research quickly because I refuse to put any subpar mod on my Jeep and I needed somethingright away. This bracket system was everything they said it was. It worked perfectly, it was easy to install, and my favorite... I absolutely love that Quadratec has wonderfully produced videos that walk you through, step by step, the installation process. I love buying from Quadratec because they only have quality products and their videos that explain the product and show the installation process that even a dummy like me can do my own installs. Can't say enough about how pleased I am with, not only this purchase, but all the purchases I've made through them.

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
