TeraFlex Tip: Tire Carrier Adjustment
#41
I just installed this with the JCR rear Dagger bumper.
Even on the 37" tire setting, I wasn't able to clear the bumper by about and 1.5" and I have 35's.
So instead I tinkered with the adjustment in and out to be able to shut the door and have the lower edge of the tire just slightly press against the top of the bumper enough that it would never move. Much the same as if it was cranked tight against the carrier.
As it sits this way...it's roughly and inch from touching the actual carrier hinge.
It doesn't move at all over big bumps and there's no noise either so it seems to be working in the same fashion by having it press against the bumper as if it was pressed against the carrier hinge
If this proves to be not as good and I start getting movement or noise, I think a 1.25" BL I was planning should get me the clearance I need to have it installed per TF directions

Hey Teraflex,
I have Hinged carrier with spare mount and its set on 35" spare. I will be moving to 37" next week. How can i move those lugs/studs to the upper holes so i can fit the 37"? Hope i don't need to buy another spare carrier for that
Thanks
Ed

I just screwed a lug nut all the way on the studs and tapped them out with a hammer.
Came out really easy
Just make sure you put the nut on before hammering

We have a JK here with that setup actually. We just used a grinder to open the notched areas for the hinges.
