We have a few single bike racks that could work for your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. First up we have the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo # RKY10007. This rack measures 12 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the rack when deployed. When you have no bike on it and the arm and wheel cradle folded you will still have a good view from the factory backup camera.

Next we have the similar RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike # RKY87RR. This rack sticks out farther measuring 16-3/4" inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack when deployed. Again you can fold the arm down, when not in use to limit the amount of backup camera view blockage you might have.

If any of these racks is going to clear the spare it would be the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo # RKY10007. It does stick out the furthest. Any bike rack or accessory installed in the hitch has the potential to at least limit the view of the backup camera. With a loaded bike rack you will have a great view of the bike but not much else.
