Spare Tire Carrier Kit

The Spare Tire Carrier Kit from SKYJACKER is an essential upgrade for off-road enthusiasts and daily drivers who demand reliable tire management on lifted trucks and SUVs. Whether you're running oversized tires on a modified 4x4 or need a secure external mounting solution for a full-size spare, this carrier addresses a critical gap in vehicle functionality. As any serious mechanic knows, proper tire storage isn't just about convenience—it's about weight distribution, structural integrity, and having backup power when you're miles from roadside assistance.

Built by SKYJACKER, a trusted name in suspension and accessory engineering, this kit features heavy-duty construction rated to handle 35 lbs of dynamic load during vehicle operation. The carrier's robust design accommodates standard and extended-size spares, with secure mounting that minimizes vibration and road noise—critical factors when you're carrying an additional unsprung mass that directly affects handling and brake performance. The compact footprint (16 x 12 x 27 inches) means minimal aerodynamic penalty while maintaining practical accessibility for mid-trail tire changes or emergency roadside swaps.

This kit works best on lifted trucks, Jeep platforms, and modified SUVs that have been upgraded with larger tires or where factory internal storage isn't viable. Installation integrates directly into existing frame or bumper mounting points, requiring basic mechanical competency and hand tools—most builds take 1–2 hours. Off-roaders, overlanders, and owners of lifted vehicles with aggressive tire packages benefit most from this carrier, as it frees up interior cargo space while keeping a critical spare wheel immediately visible and accessible in the field.
