The Teraflex relocation bracket is one of the more common and better brake relocation brackets, as well as one of the most expensive. That's the one I got because I also had the TF rear tire carrier and they fit well together.

Rugged Ridge also makes a similar style design as the TF.

I have a different Teraflex one that also allows you to relocate your license plate to your spare as well as your 3rd brake light to the spare. Doesn't get in the way should you need to remove your spare, they supply you with new lug nuts that are threaded, so the bracket pops right off. Just have to unclip the brake light harness before you pop the bracket off.

I switched over to a Genright tire carrier so I no longer use mine, but it's still sitting somewhere in my garage. $25 shipped to whoever wants it.

We've been digging all of Teraflex's spare tire stuff lately, this is no exception.

I scrapped my 3rd light completely. In Texas we're not required to have one; however, if you do have one, it has to be functional to pass inspection.

I'm running the Teraflex tire carrier and want to relocate lower and not have to mess with taking it off and unhooking wires to remove the spare, seen some that go behind the spare

Teraflex makes multiple brake light relocation brackets. Hint: The more expensive you go, the better they tend to be.

This one:

and this one:
https://teraflex.com/shop_items/52dd...77f01691804fce

will allow you to not have to mess with anything to take the spare on/off.

This is their least expensive option.........where some disconnection manipulation is required to remove the spare.
