Description
The Teraflex Hinged Spare Tire Carrier and Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount is designed to accommodate up to a 40” tire on your Jeep Wrangler JL. The TeraFlex Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier will secure your full-size spare tire and Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount over the most extreme trails and rugged terrain. It also provides easy access to the rear cargo area in one smooth action. Using the factory tailgate hinge mounting points spreads the load of the spare tire over a larger area for maximum strength and durability. The Tire Carrier spans nearly the width of the tailgate for better weight distribution. Internal gussets and bracing in the stock JL body support the Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier and oversized tire, which eliminates all stress from the tailgate. Teraflex designed this tire carrier in a one-piece, forged steel hinge design that ties the top and bottom factory hinge locations together as well as additional vertical braces for increased strength. The Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier also provides additional mounting points for off-road accessories such as a recovery jack and fluid containers. The Tire Mount can support the additional weight of a full-size spare tire by securely mounting the tire to the Tire Carrier and tailgate. Ensure your tailgate is up to the task, with this Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier Kit from TeraFlex. This kit is paired with the Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount (4838910) to support up to a 40" spare wheel and tire combo. The Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount (which is included) can be used alone, it has been designed to be installed in conjunction with the Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier. Complete adjustability includes vertical as well as before and after adjustments.

Hello! Just had this installed and is working great, couldn’t be happier. One thing though it seems to be effecting the review alert system in the same spot everytime I reverse. Anyway to solve this problem?
The Teraflex 4838920 Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier & Adjustable Spare Tire Mount Kit is heavily built and relocates the spare tire (often accommodating a larger, wider off-road tire). This larger mass or a more aggressive tire sidewall can occasionally sit close enough to trigger the factory rear ParkSense ultrasonic backup sensors or cross-path detection radar when shifting into reverse.
Check Tire Position/Offset: If the adjustable mount is set too close to the body or angled slightly outward in a way that shifts the tire perimeter closer to the bumper sensors, adjusting the wheel mount slightly further out or repositioning it on the bracket can clear the sensor's detection field.
ParkSense Sensor Calibration/Configuration: On JL Wranglers, if you have upgraded to a significantly larger tire size (especially with wider tread blocks or a protruding sidewall), the proximity sensors can sometimes read the outer edge of the tire as an obstacle. While factory sensor locations cannot be physically moved without relocating the bumper, ensuring the tire isn't sitting directly over or angled toward the inner corner bumper sensors helps.
Dealer/TDS Scan Tool Adjustment: In some cases, if the vehicle configuration was updated for larger tires, checking with a dealership or a shop with a Tazer JL / scan tool to ensure the tire size parameter is correctly calibrated can sometimes adjust module behaviors, though physical clearance adjustments to the tire mount position usually resolve the interference.
