User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to use the 3rd brake light
Answer:	You do not have to but it does fit. Some states require them for inspection though.
Question:	Wondering how this holds up with regards to rust? I live in New England and am running into poorly finished parts that rust in no time
Answer:	I live in Hawaii (which is very rust-prone) and I have had mine on for over a year with no signs of rust. Quality product in my experience.
Question:	is this easy to install yourself and how long does it take approximately
Answer:	Yes, it was easy for me to install alone in about two hours, but I have 40 years automotive repair experience and 12 years on Jeeps. Follow directions for "taping" your tailgate in place (correctly positioned in height, and latched) BEFORE you remove the stock hinge bolts. This allows near perfect alignment of the Smittybilt hinge bracket, so you'll only have to insert and snug those outside edge bolts to lock it in enough to open and snug down the rest. Additionally, by loosening those six hinge bolts and using a wooden shim underneath, you can obtain a better closure alignment (centering the height of the latch), for years of trouble free tailgate closure. Hope this helps!!!
Question:	So does this come with the extender for the third brake light? And if so can I use my factory third brake light
Answer:	YES ....it does come with the extender..... I didn't use it because In my opinion with the 35" tire and the third brake light it would reduce the rear view....The tire carrier works great ....no complaints ....2012 JK Sport 2 DR....35" on a 4" lift......

User questions & answers

Question:	Where would you mount the backup camera
Answer:	I didn’t. If I did I probably would mount it on the Jeep lug nut cover.
Question:	Will this product work with the stock bumper
Answer:	Yes, works fine with the stock bumper.
Question:	Are you able to lock the wheel on anyway? how long does the install take? Thank You
Answer:	Yes theres a place to lock the spinning wing nut the holds the wheel. The install is very fast. To make it easy dont toghten bolts all the way untill u have them all theaded... The fit is good but very tight. Good luck
Question:	Are bump stops needed? does it block rearview mirror much? anyone have warping hinges or tailgate since install? 35 in. atko2s compatible? offroading
Answer:	Yes factory bump stops are kept in place. It blocks the rear view mirror like all tire carriers do. I kept mine on for two years with absolutely no issues. Ran 35’s on and off road as well. No issues with warping the tailgate. Just make sure tire is firmly up against the bump stops and secure. The key to this carrier is installing correctly. Watch the videos and take your time.

User questions & answers

Question:	wrangler LJ with the stock rear bumper on. Want to hang a 35/12.50R15 on the back. Will the tire clear the top of the rear bumper ? THX
Answer:	You don't. Fill it up with water. I use soap and a thinner brush to clean them, which usually isn't necessary. Once your pops are frozen, remove them by running quickly under warm water, I do two at a time, then I put two in a plastic Baggie, zip the bag and when all are in bags, I put the bags in the freezer. Takes up less space, can clean the pop maker right away, PLUS, I CAN NOW MAKE DIFFERENT POPS AND REPEAT THE PRICESS! Hope this helps!
Question:	Will it fit a 35x12.5x15 tire with a stock bumper? Some say yes and some say no
Answer:	I hate this product, the stainless top is very difficult to remove once frozen. Do not buy this item
Question:	will this mount work inside the bed of a chevy truck
Answer:	Most pieces it well. If you get a stubborn one split starting on the edge of the log. It well split 90% of the time split much bigger rounds than they say it well but you half to start on the edge. Turn the log, spit, turn the log, split, repeat working towards the center. It does not have enough muscle to split twisted logs. Used mine four seasons. I would say it has split 90% of what I have asked it to. Very important that it is reasonably level or it looses power. I set it on the ground and set in a chair. Had 0 problems with it. Very happy with it.
Question:	Is this the actual mount or just another extender
Answer:	Yes! This is an outstanding tool. Very heavy duty. Have even split hedge.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this mount be used with the factory carrier to reinforce it
Answer:	It moves it to the center of the wheel
Question:	Can the hinges be removed? id like to get it refinished to match my UHD rear bumper
Answer:	The brackets only allow you to adjust the carrier to fit up to a 37” tire. Also you will need a carrier Mopar 82215356AB CARRIER KIT and also a brake light relocation kit.
Question:	Can you use the stock Rubicon rim with this carrier
Answer:	Some 35s have different treads, I have nitto ridge grapplers in 35/12.5r17 on method 701 wheels and the stock setup was fine, the rubber “bump stops”( I forgot the name of them) which presses against the tire and tail gate may need to be adjusted for more or less. This kit does raise the spare up about an inch where I can clear my 1up bike rack when it’s full down. If you have a rack on your hitch receiver then test it, if not I would recommend getting this or a replacement tire carrier
Question:	Will this fit on a 2018 jk unlimited with AEV rear bumper
Answer:	This is a studless tire.

Mopar 82215356AB Jeep Wrangler Oversized Spare Tire Carrier Tailgate Reinforcement

• Genuine OEM Mopar Parts and Accessories

User questions & answers

Question:	I have 33 rubicon wheels in my sport S. Do you know if I need tailgate reinforcements
Answer:	I think the short answer is YES. What I would call the Hinge Brackets install first to replace the existing gate hinges. Then the new HD carrier mounts into those brackets,and bolts to the swing gate. You could easily get the brackets or the carrier powder coated prior to mounting.
Question:	What’s the maximum weight can this carrier hold? My 37 weighs 110lbs
Answer:	Not certain but do not see why not. It is a great carrier, MUCH better than stock. Holds my Fuel 17x9's with 35" Grabbers no problem, no rattles.
Question:	If you look to the right side of the tire mount there is a hole that appears to be there to hold a CB radio antenna. Is this the purpose of the hole
Answer:	This mounts in place of the factory hinge, so it should. We have not tested the 2 together
Question:	I plan on running 37" tire with 4.75 offset 17" wheels. another website says i need p/n 82215355 to accomodate larger than stock sizes. is this true
Answer:	They are aluminum. I don’t know if it would support a 34. I would not recommend it simply because I have a 35 and its very heavy for it and I have the reinforcement bracket.

ReadyLIFT now offers a great solution for Jeep JL Wrangler owners who have installed a lift kit and larger tires, but need a way to install a matching 35" or 37" tall spare. After running into this issue with our new Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon, we quickly realized that a 35" or 37" spare tire doesn't fit on the factory spare mount on the rear gate.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have 2020 jeep jl Unlimited rubicon are they gonna fit
Answer:	I run BFG 315/70R17 K02 on a Bawarrion Bon'z Beadlock wheel that weigh 106lbs and you can feel the extra weight on the tailgate, I wouldn't go any higher than 110lbs. I also bought the 82215355 oversized tire carrier mod kit which was JUNK, I used a micro inch pound torque wrench to tighten nuts to spec instead of a full size torque wrench and it still pulled two of the studs right out of the bracket and had to take it off and throw it in the scrap pile only to find out my configuration worked better without it on a JL Rubicon with stock steel bumpers.
Question:	Does this work with the back up camera
Answer:	yes. But don’t use for 37 inch tire.
Question:	Will this fit with the factory reinforced kit
Answer:	According to catalog it should work for up to 37 inch tires.
Question:	will this fit a 2020 jlu
Answer:	This kit will replace it. If you just get the hinge portion you can keep the factory mount but the hinge portion is all that will be stronger/reinforced.
