Fitment Guide: For Aftermarket Wheels & Tire Carriers- READ BEFORE PURCHASE!
This model is built for 2022+ Bronco Raptors with factory spare mounts.
- Will work with ALL OEM spare tire and wheel combinations
- Will work with any spare tire size. Fitment depends on wheel size, not tire size
- Will work with all OEM wheel (rim) sizes up to 20”
- Will work with all OEM installed tire carriers
- NOT recommended for vehicles with aftermarket bumpers with integrated hitch
IF you have an aftermarket spare wheel (rim) or an aftermarket tire carrier please follow the guidelines below OR watch the video below to ensure proper fitment of your rucRak to your application.
NOTE 1: If you have an aftermarket wheel, measure wheel depth by placing a placing a yardstick or a level flat across the tire and measuring from the lug nut to the outside of the tire.
If that measurement is MORE than 5-3/4", then you will need to add Mounting Stud Extensions to your order.
NOTE 2: If you have an aftermarket tire carrier, measure the tire height by placing a yardstick or a level inside the hitch and measuring from the center of the wheel to the top of the hitch.
If that measurement is MORE than 24", then you will need to add Feet Extension Set to your order.
NOTE 3: If you have an aftermarket tire carrier or a positive offset on your wheel, measure from the pin hole in your hitch to a virtual vertical line on the outside of your tire.
If that measurement is MORE than 14”, then you will need to add Pedestal Extension Set to your order.

How it Mounts and How it works

It also uses our T-bar load handler support bar to relieve the weight. The best part? You can leave it on, so it's ready when you are, or remove it quickly for spare access!

Notes about Carrying Bikes
Notes about Carrying Bikes
The Grunt can carry 1 or 2 bikes. While the Grunt was originally designed for traditional pedal bikes, you can safely load your e-bike(s) on it as long as the wheel base is 45 inches or less, and the total weight is under 150 lbs. If you need a carrier for larger or heavier bikes, please check out our upcoming e-bike rack, The Chief.
Although the bike rack kit accessory is not absolutely required for carrying bikes, as there are plenty of places to strap them on, it is recommended. You can find it here: Bike Rack Accessory Kit
Dimensions & Weight Capacity
Dimensions & Weight Capacity
While other racks claim 500lb+ capacities that can exceed your vehicle's tongue weight and damage your frame, the rucRak GRUNT is precision-engineered for a safe 150lb payload.
Why 150lbs?
- Hitch Integrity: Most mid-size SUVs have a tongue weight limit of 350lbs. Once you account for the weight of a heavy steel rack and the "lever effect" of the cargo, a 150lb limit keeps you well within the safe operating zone for your Jeep or Bronco.
- Dynamic Force Protection: When you hit a pothole or a trail bump, a 150lb load can briefly exert over 350lbs of force. Our limit ensures your factory tire carrier and hitch remain stress-free.
- Practical Utility: 150lbs is more than enough for a fully-loaded 65qt cooler plus your recovery gear, or 3-4 bags of mulch for your weekend project.
Dimensions: 4 in X 16 in X 40 in
Weight Capacity: 150 lb
Tailgate Table Dimensions: 36 in X 15.5 in X 0.5 in

Lots of pieces and parts to assemble but good entertaining YouTube to explain it all. My frustration remains with home (storage) pin but a real solid product, well designed and great materials and finishes.
Awesome piece! Did everything that we wanted. Could ask for better service and sales! Can’t wait for our next trip with it! On to Utah we roll!
It does the job, Jason has been great in keeping in touch with any questions concerns. Some things could be improved. but over all it works great.
Love it exactly what I needed
buy it!
Loving it! It is light weight, well built, and helps haul the extra stuff I can't put inside my rig.
The rucRak has been great! I used it for our 6500 mile round trip from Florida to SD, ND and Montana. I used two large waterproof duffel bags to hold extra gear and it allowed us to carry the cooler and day bags in the Bronco.
Love it! Both a great design and well made.
The finished product is amazing and versatile. It works great on my Chevy Silverado and on my wife’s BMW X7. My chief complaint is with the assembly instructions. I found myself pausing the instruction video to find parts then rewinding to refocus on the assembly. Then many times, I’d have to rewind and pause to get the orientation of the parts correct. Many times, the video format seemed less than optimal for a product that that costs so much money. If there were easy to follow paper instructions or a downloadable PDF, then the video instructions would become a great adjunct to help supplement the assembly process.
Easy assembly! Great rack! Light weight!
Best cargo rack for Jeep period.
rucRak overall is a very good product. My only complaint is that the decals left much to be desired. Adhesion was not that great to start with and after only a month the color is fading from the red set. Another month or 2 and there will be no color at all. I will be forced to remove them soon, which is a shame since the color contrast really draws your attention to the product.
Any questions?
Does The rucRak come with a warranty?
Yes — all rucRak models are covered by rucRak’s Lifetime Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. We stand behind every product we build — because adventure gear should last a lifetime.
Will the GRUNT cargo carrier with bike rack put stress on my tire mount or tailgate?
No. The GRUNT’s patented load-handler system evenly distributes weight, protecting your tire carrier and tailgate from stress or damage.
What vehicles does the rucRak GRUNT cargo carrier with bike rack fit?
The GRUNT cargo carrier bike rack is designed for Jeep Wranglers (JK, JL 2007+) and Ford Broncos with a rear-mounted spare tire. It attaches securely without modifications.
Can I still use my rear-view camera with the rucRak GRUNT hitch cargo carrier?
Yes — the rucRak GRUNT cargo carrier built for Jeeps and Ford Broncos is designed to maintain full rear-view camera visibility.
Will the GRUNT rear cargo carrier fit my larger-than-stock spare tire?
Yes — tire size does not affect fitment of the rucRak GRUNT. What matters is your wheel size, since that determines how the rear hitch cargo carrier mounts to your spare.
Please refer to this fitment video to confirm compatibility for your setup:
https://youtu.be/dgs9WKKfIp8?si=zKq-kNIpoY8d5ohL
How much does the GRUNT aluminum cargo rack weigh?
The rucRak GRUNT spare tire mount weighs approximately 30–33 lbs, depending on your configuration. Although it mounts to your rear spare tire, the weight is not carried by the tire or tailgate alone. The included load handler rests in your hitch and supports the system from underneath, distributing weight safely and preventing stress or damage to your tire carrier.
This design keeps the GRUNT lightweight, secure, and fully compatible with Jeep and Bronco spare-mount setups.
Will the rucRak cargo carrier work with my vehicle’s backup alarm?
No. You’ll need to manually turn off your backup alarm. All cargo carriers and bike racks will trigger factory backup sensors due to their proximity to the vehicle.
