Tony, overall dimensions of the Patriot Hitches Ball Mount for 2" Hitches 30K # PH32NR are about 10-1/4 inch long x 7 inch tall x 7-1/4 inch wide. The main measurement you'll need is the hitch pin to ball distance which is about 7" on this one.
Most Wranglers clear that fine, but it’s smart to measure from your hitch pin hole back to the spare just to be sure. If you need longer, you could use an extender like # e88YR, but it does reduce hitch capacity by 50% so it's not ideal.
How close is your current hitch to the spare? This will help me find the best solution for you, Tony.
