Smittybilt 3721 Jeep Tire Relocation Bracket: Ideal Solution for CJ/YJ/TJ/LJ/JK Models Review

It's cheap and does the job hence 5 stars but the rear wheel wobbles especially when you close the tailgate and a set of 33 covers your stock third brake light. It's a great, cheap way to get you on the road with a spare if you're buying big tires, but it probably won't be a solution you'll leave behind. I'll pass it on to someone else at the start of the jeep build when I'm done with it.

Works excellent as advertised Great price depending on tires Adding to the factory square piece might not be the safest thing as the factory plate only wobbles a lot for the one attached to the handles Tailgate trim, mine is 33 x 12.5, it was difficult for this setup. I ended up upgrading to a swingarm which attaches to the body and tailgate much more securely when the 4 wheeler stopped worrying about my tailgate trim falling off and losing parts

Needed for my new spare wheel. I swapped out the stock Wrangler JK tires for 285/65/r18 Nitto Ridge tires (33" high x 11.5" wide with 18" rims) and the tailgate was no longer closed. I use a Smittybilt rear bumper so can't say for sure if the same tire will fit the stock bumper, but this simple addition helped quickly and easily nonetheless. Now the tire fits perfectly, the tailgate closes and I didn't have to buy a $$$ spare tire mount!

This item is exactly as described. Be sure to determine the hole pattern that fits your wheel before installing it on your vehicle. You may only install the tire mounting bolts when the bracket is removed from the vehicle. I found that the tire mounting bolts are a bit too long. I had to try all three screws before I found one that barely fit (slight differences in screw length saved me). Otherwise this mount has served its purpose. In my case, the tire is far enough away from the tailgate…
