The 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs # C18100 is what you would want. The carrier will fold up close to your spare tire when not in use. Because you have a Jeep with the spare tire, you will need to measure from the hole in your hitch where you put the pin to the outside edge of your spare tire. This carrier has a closest point of 4-1/2 inches from the hitch pin hole in the receiver when folded. If you need more space, I recommend using a hitch extender like the Curt Hitch Extender-- 8" Long # C45791 or the Brophy 7-3/8 inch extender # HE06. The use of an extender will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50% so you will want to stay within those limits when carrying your cargo. To secure your investment, you may want to use hitch locks like # e98882 which can be keyed alike when ordered at the same time.
