Default Which rear carrier can be raised/lowered for tire size ?

Guys, Anyone know which manufacturers' rear tire carrier allows for up-down adjustable height of the spare tire ? I've searched and so far found only found one : LoD Jeep JK Signature Series Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier - anyone know of others ? Cheers.

Reason is I'd like to mount my current 35s as low as possible and retain rear vision, but have the ability to raise when eventually get significantly larger tires.

The Smittybilt XRC will adjust and accommodate a 40" spare.

thanks for replies. I'll call Expo One, many thanks. Didnt know Smittybilt was adjustible, but will pass on theirs as I want to mount a hi-lift back there also, ideally horizontally.

I will try to find it but there is a thread on how to mount a hi lift the the smittybilt. It is easy and looks good.

There are Three positions on the LoD bumper to raise and lower the spare.

With my mounting adapter, I've got 6 positions on my LOD.
Adjustability range is around a foot.
Naturally, the upper positions block my 3rd brake light, and the lowest positions require a bigger drop down for my hitch.
