Hitch hauler for jk wrangler

[Fightinfires]

ive seen a few pics on google but can't really find much info about using a hitch hauler on a wrangler with the spare tire on the back. Just wondering if anyone does this. I've seen the rad dudes one at Daytona but looked a little short to clear the spare and idk how far back I can safely put the ski if I fab up my own. Getting ready to pick up my first sj in the next week and want something that can work for some highway driving. Thanks for any tips

Do a front hitch = easy button.

Did not even think of that. Might be a good possibility. I have a 2016 2door 75th anniversary that already comes with steel bumpers just gotta look up if it would interfere when I want to install a winch

@CHRIS@EZ-SKI Can do it

Pretty sure he has a small picture on his site of a Jeep with spare hauler setup. Give him a shout, he is a great guy.

i had a rad dudes on back of mine with larger spare and it clears fine. The issue is the suspension sagging.

Thanks. Did you have stock suspension or aftermarket? Any lift?

 

[imabadfish]

3 inch lift, stock suspension.

Jetlift would work also....... My new one sticks out much farther than my other one did.

True. How much sagging do you think I should expect. Do you think it's ok for highway driving?

 

[imabadfish]

so its going to depend on your ski right are you running a carbon circus freak or a stock round of superjet reinforced with fiberglass for the surf your best bet is to just load it up and see for me if I didn't have the 3-inch lift I wouldn't have felt comfortable driving it

I have been riding a superjet for a few years with hitch hauler. Just switched to carbon freak. Could tell a bit of difference. Like imabadfish said, best to try out.

Understandable. Thanks for the input. Picking up my sj this weekend or early next week. I'll let you know how it goes.
