Britsh Parts of Utah offers a brand new product for relocating the spare tyre on the carrier on the rear of the Discovery I and II. The relocator works by slightly shifting the spare wheel up (by about 1 1/2") to clear the rear bumper, enabling the fitment of larger tyres.
The Kit comes with all the hardware you need for one of two install options. The first install would be a bolt-on method (no cutting required). The second install requires you to cut the factory wheel studs on the carrier (this is the recommended install). The product is machined from 1" 6061-T6 Aluminum plate and then black anodized for looks.
