Description
The Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Kit by Rugged Ridge will allow you to mount a larger spare tire safely onto the tailgate of your Jeep Wrangler JL. This system upgrades the tailgate hinges to a die-cast aluminum casting with forged steel hinge brackets. Along with a heavy-duty wheel mount that has a depth and tilt feature which is fully adjustable. Not only allowing oversized tires to fit properly but for the spare to be securely mounted with the utmost stability. Also, including an adjustable third brake light bracket to keep you legal (light not included). This system has a superior load capacity over the stock setup handling tires sizes up to and including a 40 inch spare. Allowing you to hit those trails hard with confidence. No drilling required for installation and compatible the factory bumper and most aftermarket rear bumpers.

40" Spare Tire Capability: Making this system extremely versatile with strength for maximum load capacity. Engineered from a die-cast aluminum casting with forged steel hinge brackets and hardened steel pins. Handling the abuse of the trails with ease and confidence. Wheel on my friend.

Maintains One-handed Access:This supreme system allows the tailgate to continue to open with a one-handed operation. The aluminum design reduces weight while this premium replacement increases load capacity. Reducing wear and creating a durable long-lasting hinge. Making this a more user-friendly system as opposed to a bumper tire swing option. A simple yet stout design.

Quality Custom Fitment: Engineered from premium materials to be a direct bolt-on for the Jeep Wrangler JL and finished in a black powdercoat. Protecting the components from corrosion and looking good for years to come.

Easy enough install. Looks fantastic and is truly a heavy duty tire and wheel mount. Not like some that just bolt on to existing hinges.

Pretty Sturdy and basic install, the hardest part is aligning the door. Everything looked great closed, but once opened the tailgate dropped. So had to remove the tire and try again. Got it the second time but just something to double check.

Questions

Will the Whip Light Brackets fit on the mount like they do with the Factory mount?
Yes, they should still fit as the bolt pattern does not change.
Does this kit fit the 4xe Rubicon?
Yes, it will. Thanks for your inquiry.
Do I understand correctly that this is actually a combination of both parts 11546.56 and 11546.57?
Yes, it is the kit with both components. Thanks for your inquiry.
