As long as there is an open lug bolt opening in the wheel that has 3/4 inches of clearance behind it on your 2009 Jeep Wrangler Sahara rear mounted spare wheel you will be able to use the Spare Tire Lock, item # e98892. I have added a photo showing how the lock is attached and the distance from the back of the wheel to the farthest part of the lock.

If the wheel mounting bracket at the back of the Jeep covers all of the bolt holes the lock will not work.
