Spare Tire Relocation Mount Jeep Wrangler JL

Running bigger tires on your Wrangler JL and noticing the factory plastic tailgate hardware is starting to struggle under the weight? This spare tire relocation mount was built for exactly that situation — it gives the spare wheel solid steel support and lets you adjust its position to match your tire size, instead of leaning on the original tailgate parts.

Fitment Jeep Wrangler JL 2018+ and JL 4xe from 2021

Material Cold-rolled, laser-cut steel

Finish Anti-corrosion coating + textured black powder coat

Key benefits

• Laser-cut steel instead of factory plastic — the spare wheel rests on a structure actually built to carry a larger, heavier tire, not on parts sized for the stock tire.
• Adjustable relocation bracket (wheel mount) — set the mounting height instead of being locked into one fixed position.
• Polymer and metal spacer/washer kit — dial in tire distance from the tailgate to match the exact tire and wheel size you're running.
• Additional stabilizing brackets sized for your wheel parameters — reduce play and vibration on rough terrain.
• Anti-corrosion coating plus powder coat — a component that lives outside the body, in mud and moisture, gets an extra layer of protection against rust.

What's in the box

• Main reinforcement plate, mounted directly to the tailgate
• Relocation bracket (wheel mount) with height adjustment
• Set of polymer and metal spacers and washers to adjust tire distance from the tailgate
• Additional stabilizing brackets sized for specific wheel parameters
• Full set of high-grade bolts, nuts and washers needed for installation

Who it's for: This kit makes the most sense once you're running tires larger than stock and can see the factory plastic tailgate mount struggling under the extra weight. The steel construction and adjustable relocation bracket let you position the spare wheel to suit your specific tire and wheel setup, rather than settling for the compromise the factory tailgate geometry forces on you.

Installation / notes

The main reinforcement plate bolts directly to your existing factory tailgate — no need to replace the tailgate itself. The kit includes the full set of high-grade bolts, nuts and washers needed for installation, while the relocation bracket height and the wheel's distance from the tailgate are yours to set using the included spacers and washers, matched to your tire and wheel size.

Why it's worth it

• Laser-cut steel construction instead of factory plastic — real support for a larger, heavier spare tire.
• Height and distance adjustment let you fit the mount to your exact tire and wheel setup, not the other way around.
• Complete mounting kit in one box — bolts, nuts, washers and brackets are already matched to this mount.

If your Wrangler JL is already running bigger tires, this relocation mount is the natural next step before the factory tailgate hardware has the final word.
