PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The CavFab Elite Series Tire Carrier features a HD hinge system that will allow you to carry up to a 42" tire without rattling or fear of damaging your tailgate. An adjustable tire carrier mount allows you to mount the tire itself higher or lower, depending on the size of your tire and your personal preference, to give you the option of having as much rear window visibility as possible. The Elite Series Tire Carrier features several options for different bolt patterns, so whether you have a stock 5x5 bolt pattern or an 8-lug pattern, we have you covered. License Plate Relocation and Backup Camera mounts included, making this the most functional tire carrier on the market.

CavFab JL Tire Carrier FAQ:
1. Why choose a body-mounted spare tire carrier over a bumper-mounted one?
Body-mounted carriers distribute the weight of the spare tire more evenly and avoid placing excess stress on the tailgate. This reduces the risk of cracks, sagging, or latch issues that can occur with heavy wheels.
2. Will the CavFab Elite Series work with oversized tires?
Yes. The Elite Series is built for oversized aftermarket tires, including 35”, 37”, and heavier setups common on off-road builds.
3. Does this tire carrier require drilling or cutting?
No. This is a direct bolt-on installation that uses factory mounting points. No permanent modifications are required. No drilling or rivnuts need to be installed in your tailgate.
4. Will this fit both the JL 2-door and JLU 4-door?
Yes. The CavFab Elite Series fits 2018+ JL Wrangler 2-door and JLU Wrangler 4-door models.
5. Does it work with CavFab bumpers and other armor?
Yes. The Elite Series tire carrier is designed to work with CavFab rear bumpers and other CavFab armor products without interference.
6. Will this eliminate rattling from my spare tire?
Yes. The body-mounted design keeps your spare rigid and stable, eliminating rattles that are common with factory hinges or weak aftermarket solutions.
