TeraFlex Suspension 4838900 Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier Kit for Jeep Wrangler JL 2018+

The TeraFlex Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier Kit is engineered to support oversized spare tires up to 40 inches on 2018 and newer Jeep Wrangler JL models. This heavy-duty carrier secures your full-size spare tire over the most extreme trails and rugged terrain while providing easy access to the rear cargo area in one smooth action.

Superior Load Distribution and Tailgate Protection:

Using the factory tailgate hinge mounting points spreads the load of the spare tire over a larger area for maximum strength and durability. Internal gussets and bracing in the stock JL body support the Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier and oversized tire, which eliminates all stress from the tailgate. Compared to the JK piece, the new JL Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier spans nearly the width of the tailgate for better weight distribution and features a one-piece, forged steel hinge that ties the top and bottom factory hinge locations together as well as additional vertical braces for increased strength.

Rugged Construction:

• Hinged carrier constructed from strong and lightweight A356.2 aluminum
• Heavy-duty forged steel brackets and mid-carbon hardened steel 5/8 inch hinge pins eliminate tailgate stress and rattles
