I ordered 10mm x 1.5 coupler, two nuts, and about 4 inches long of threaded rod. That way I'm able to re use the factory spare tire holder.

(My spare rim is a Cragar d window rim with 3.75 back spacing) so depending on what rim you are using, u may need shorter or longer threaded rod. Maybe u won't even need it at all and do a custom set up.

Before I had my rear tire carrier bumper, I had a tire relocation bracket used along with removing the metal base piece. It was made by my friend and used the stock J-bolt to keep the tie mounted.
Yes, I have a 96-down, however it should basically work the same. No rear seat mod required.

the spare tire sits next to it. I should remove it but it wouldn't make any difference because the rear wheel hump still would be in the way too.

Reminds me of this: gojeep fitting a 32 spare wheel in stock location. I should have done this on my XJ, rather than flat on the floor.

You can get 33s in there too, if you don't mind the bottom of the tire sticking out a little. Leave the OEM tire rest for an ammo can of tools and you're good to go.
