Review on 🔧 TeraFlex 4838150 Alpha Hinged Carrier and HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit for JK/JKU - Complete by Yousef Abood

I installed this on my 2015 Jeep JK and it fits Great. I have very heavy 35" tires on 18" rims and this pivot handles them well (the combined weight of the rim and tire is 115 pounds). Installation was easy but took about 2 hours because removing the factory hinges will NOT paint the jeep underneath so you will need to prime the unpainted areas to prevent rust. Without the painting it would have taken about 45 minutes. Don't be put off by the painting part, whatever you paint will be covered by a loop with a tolerance of about an inch. I taped the area and spray-painted it to prevent rust, applying three coats. Tool. Everything is simply screwed into the factory holes. Be sure to use "locktite" on the screws. Don't tighten them until you've done them all. The hardest part will be INSERTING 3 bolts into the holes for your tire size. Teraflex has a nice installation video and shows you a little trick to line up all the screw holes. Link to Teraflex video [.]
