Step 1: Remove your spare tire. Now take off your 3rd brake light from its housing by removing
the four screws on the back of it. Follow the wiring and disconnect at plug. Set the
light and screws to the side for use later.
Step 2: Remove the factory tire carrier by removing the 8 bolts that secure it to the tail gate.
Set bolts to the side for use later.
Step 3: Place the tire that you are going to be using flat on the ground, with the outside of the
tire facing down. Set your new tire carrier base on tire with the tube portion going
through the center of the wheel. While pushing the tire carrier down (making it even
the tire) lay the brake light bracket on the tire carrier between the two flanges. Put the
light bracket so the top of it where the light lens will be placed is just above the tire.
Align the bracket holes to the best hole locations on the tire carrier. Secure tightly using
the two supplied pan head screws, lock washers and nuts. (Fig A)
Step 4: Measure the distance form the bottom set of holes on the tailgate where the factory
tire carrier was mounted on; to a point on your bumper that will be below the spare
tire. Set your new tire carrier back on your spare tire like you had done in Step 3.
Measure from the bottom of the tire upwards the same distance that you just measured.
Find the holes on the tire carrier that are the lowest close to that measurement.
(Commonly 31” and smaller tires will use the top set of holes, 35” tires will use the
middle set of holes and 37” tires will use the bottom set of holes)
Now mount your new tire carrier on the tailgate using 4 of the factory bolts you
previously removed in the inner set of holes. (Fig B)
