IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES

Factory taillight placement interferes with this carrier. Modifications or aftermarket taillights are required.
Some TJ/LJ models have weld-in nuts at the upper hinge. These may need to be removed to use the included tie-in.
If you have a non-stock cage, the tie-in should fit only if the cage remains in approximately the factory position. A cage positioned farther from the tailgate may prevent the tie-in from fitting.
For tires larger than 37", CavFab recommends using rear corner armor for additional support.

Not sure about bolt pattern, cage position, taillight clearance, or whether your build needs corner armor? Contact CavFab before ordering and we’ll help verify the configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The carrier's position interferes with the factory taillight location, so factory taillights must be modified or replaced with aftermarket alternatives for proper fitment.

Select the bolt pattern based on your axle, not necessarily your Jeep's model year, since axle swaps are common. Stock TJ axles use 5x4.5, JK axles use 5x5 with 1/2"-20 studs, JL axles use 5x5 with 14mm x 1.5 studs, and additional options are available for common swap axles including 5x5.5, 8x6.5, and 8x170. If you're unsure which axle you have, send us the axle information and we'll verify fitment before you order.

This carrier is designed to support tires up to 42 inches. For tire sizes larger than 37 inches, we recommend adding rear corner armor for additional strength and support.

Possibly. Some TJ and LJ models have weld-in nuts at the upper hinge location that must be removed. The tie-in is compatible with most aftermarket cages that remain close to the factory position, but cages mounted farther from the tailgate may not align correctly.

The license plate relocation bracket is offered as an option during checkout. Standalone availability for the TJ/LJ version may vary. Contact us with your order number and we'll review the available options for your specific order.
