The Spartacus HD tire carrier hinge casting from Rugged Ridge provides the ultimate in strength and stability for mounting an oversized wheel and tire on your Jeep Wrangler JL. Designed to manage the amplified force and vibrations produced during extreme off-road conditions, the 11546.56 hinge casting provides maximum strength without the excess weight of steel.
The one-piece application completely replaces your factory tailgate hinges, creating a structurally stable link between the tailgate and the body and resulting in smooth one-hand access to your JL’s rear cargo area. In combination with forged-steel hinge brackets and hardened steel pins, this design creates superior load capacity over the factory tailgate hinges to reduce long-term wear.
The patent-pending Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD tire carrier hinge casting is compatible with OE and most aftermarket rear bumpers and installs with no drilling required.
