- 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.
