Distance between rear tire carrier and tail gate???

[66fora69er]

So I built this swing out tire carrier. And I like it for the most part. Finally put the tire on it last night. Its a little further away from the tail gate than I was expecting. Just wondering how far the tire is from the tailgate on a vendor purchased bumper. Between the tire and tailgate I have about 5.5". If someone could take measurment from a vendor built one I would appreciate it. Thanks

I have the James Duff plate bumper and carrier. Hilift Jack is incorporated between the tire and rear gate. Id say your distance is about the same as the bought ones.

OK thanks. Going to try and put my Hi-lift there as well. Good looking EB you got there.

Yours looks maybe 2x as far as stock, but NY-Bronco's looks more like 4x.

I knew i wouldnt get it as close as stock, but was hoping to get it a lights tighter. I can re-do the back spacing and get it about another inch tighter. Thank for the pictures
