In addition to engineering world-class premium suspension systems, TeraFlex has set the standard for Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited accessories with innovative products such as the JK: Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier & Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount Kit. First shown at the 2012 SEMA Show, it quickly became the most popular tire carrier in the industry.
Designed to accommodate up to a 37” tire, the Alpha HD Spare Tire Carrier & Mount Kit secures your spare tire over the most extreme trails and rugged terrain. It also provides easy access to the rear cargo area in one smooth action.
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 JK body supports the Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier and oversized tire, which eliminates all stress from the tailgate.
The Alpha HD Spare Tire Carrier also provides additional mounting points for off-road accessories such as a recovery jack and fluid containers.
