JT Stongarm for Eagle HT

I am wanting to install these but notice that the spare tire could be in the way. Has anyone installed these & do I need to remove the spare tire & store in the basement? Thanks.

Another option for the spare is to buy a bumper mount and move it to the rear of the rig. The mount would clamp onto your rear bumper of your rig.

Yes that would work but I carry a storage box on the back already.

I think I'm going to install the Hanscom Steadyfast on mine. The whole rig has only three arms and they should provide more leverage with the longer arms. I also like how they get tightened down vs the others. I also don't think it'll be an issue with the spare.

I installed the JT Strong arms on my 23.5 rbs with no problems at all. They work very well.
