To determine if the Rage motorcycle carrier, # AMC400, will fit your Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and the bike will clear the spare, there are some measurements you will have to take. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance required to clear the spare tire.

Next measure the width of the bike at the widest point, usually the handle bars, and divide by 2.

The carrier measures 18 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the track. Take 18 and subtract half the width of the bike. If the difference ends up as a positive (1 or higher) then the carrier and bike will fit. If you end up with zero or a negative number, the bike will not fit.

Carrier # MX600 offers 2 inches more clearance. Instead of subtracting from 18 you would subtract from 20 since MX600 measures 20 inches from hitch pin hole to the center of the carrier.

An even longer carrier, # SMC600, measures 25 inches from hitch pin hole center to the center of the carrier. I have included video links to all 3 carriers for you to view.
