Reviews for Teraflex 4838100 Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Fantastic addition to my JK. I got bigger wheels and tires, and the factory tailgate hinges started to fail. I replaced them with this and it's been perfect. I no longer have to worry about the tailgate swinging too far open and bending the hinges. The installation was straightforward, and the instructions were clear. Great product!

I installed this on my 07 jk and I'm very pleased. The install took me about 2hrs including a bit of cleaning around the hinges I removed. I followed the instructions and had no issues with alignment. The tailgate now has 0 sagging with my 35" spare, and closes with 1 finger instead of having to be closed with a bit of force.

Best on the market.

I purchased the tire carrier first but I wish that I had just purchased the combo as they work really well together. Anyways this product might be slightly overpriced but it completely eliminated all tailgate shaking from my 35in tire. I’m also convinced my Jeep handles better because it doesn’t have the rocking of the wheel to mess with the momentum of the Jeep while driving. It looks good, feels good and overall great product from Teraflex.

Solid and worth the money. I have the factory recon 17 inch wheels with 315/70/17 tires or 35", i did not buy the adjustable tire carrier just used the stock one. Only problem is the tire doesn't touch the hinge on the pass side or the factory rubber on the driver side. Had to put bigger rubber on to keep the tire tight against the tailgate
