Rough Country Bronco Spare Tire Relocation (2021-2026)

Running a 35-inch spare on a 2021-2026 Bronco is a common goal, but the factory spare tire carrier sits too low to clear a 35-inch tire over the stock rear bumper. Rough Country's Spare Tire Relocation Bracket solves this by lifting the entire factory spare tire assembly 2 inches, creating the clearance needed to mount a 35x12.50 tire without contact. The bracket is available in two configurations: bracket only, or paired with a tailgate reinforcement bracket for those stepping up to a 37-inch spare.

One-piece solid steel construction. Unlike multi-piece solutions that rely on stacked hardware to achieve lift, this bracket is machined as a single solid-steel plate. That means no flex, no rattles, and no weak points to worry about when hauling a full-size spare over rough terrain.

Bolt-on installation with no modifications required. The relocation bracket indexes directly into the factory mounting points on the Bronco's tailgate. No drilling, no welding, and no cutting. All necessary hardware is included, keeping the installation straightforward for home garage installs.

Tailgate reinforcement for larger tire setups. The optional tailgate reinforcement bracket pairs with the relocation bracket to redistribute the added weight of a 37-inch spare across both tailgate hinges evenly. This reduces strain on the swing-out gate and keeps the heavier setup operating correctly over time. Both the relocation bracket and reinforcement bracket are powder coated black for corrosion resistance and a clean, factory-blended appearance.
