I installed 37" tires with 0 offset wheels and find that the spare tire hangs away from rear an extra 2" or so, which ,if I thought about it should have been obvious. My question is is their a aftermarket spare tire carrier that fits the OEM mounting but is either ajustable or just shorter. I put the reinforcement brackets but I don't like the additional leverage on rear due to the increased distance.IMG_20220904_212214280.jpg

I don't know if anyone makes that but I'd suggest getting a tailgate support. That's a lot of extra weight the tailgate might not hold.

Thanks, I already have the Hammer Built brackets, just think I need a shorter version of the OEM carrier.

The old wheel/tire would sit where the tire would rest on that rubber stop at the bottom?
Might need to get a custom made bracket.

In the old days when theses things were metal we would just chop out a section and rewelded it...but really ya don’t ”need” a 37” spare...just throw the stock one back on.

Thanks it doesn't touch the rubber stops. That's why I'm asking if anyone knows of an after market solution

I thought about it but decided not to and sold old tires and wheels

We use the 4WP spare tire carrier for our 37s. No tailgate issues after a year of use and 3500 miles. No tailgate brace either but if we do any heavy offroading the spare is either coming off or going in the cargo area. *The 37 sits snug on the rubber bumper located on bottom

What is the wheel offset, mine is 0mm, which causes it to be 2" farther out. I will look at this one, thanks
