I'll start by clearing up some common confusion- the Thule Spare Me 2 # TH963PRO is the 2 bike rack and a Thule Spare Me is a single bike carrier, so the age of the bike rack won't matter. It looks like you've got the Spare Me 2 so you'll want to use the Replacement Mounting Plate # 753-3532, Replacement Long Mounting Bracket # 752-1425-002 and Replacement Long Standoff Extension # 852-3305-001 to adapt to the larger tires on your JK.
