Default OR FAB 3rd light question
Installing my tires on Thursday, Nitto Trail 295/70R18, with the spare on a non-jerry OR-Fab tire carrier. Do I need a 3rd light extension? If so, recommendations on which to get? How's install?

I installed the Teraflex extention on mine. It's adjustable in 1" increments, reuses the OEM light and is a direct mount to the tailgate. Clears the 35 with no problem.

Nice. Thanks! Not sure if I'll need it. Hopefully I can ride with it without because I won't be able to get it in before Thursday at this point. Anyone with the OR-Fab know specifically if it will work with our carrier?

I had the same tires on my JK .....you will need to get the extension and the offset. Mopar makes a kit that rasies the tire up and gives you the extension as well in the kit.

It can be raised higher, I just didn't want it sticking way up. Clears the tire enough to be visible and legal.
