Third brake light solution when running 35's?

[Noissuefound]

I put 35” tall tires on my OB and I kept the stock 18” rims. I now have an interference fit between my third brake light and the tire. Does anyone know of a solution to this issue?

Yes we used the Rough Country part. Only $ 25 and raises it high enough to clear a 37”.

Awesome, that’s exactly what I was looking for, just didn’t know if such a thing existed.

Does it fit with standard bumper or did you buy a relocation kit? I am picking up mine next week and was going to keep wheels for now and go 35s. I will buy that brake light item now and consider the RC reinforcement bracket.

I put 35’s on my Badlands rims and just had to cut down the rubber bumpers to get it to fit….

It fits with the standard bumper on it right now but the tire is against the light more than I’d like it to be. I am getting the relocation/extension for the light to move it up a little bit.

Throw away the extra light.

You could also try one of the few “spare tire” ring brake lights. It could save you some rear window space by moving the legally required third brake light to the center of the spare. Some folks don’t like the aesthetics of it but I think it’s unique and functional.

We actually manufacture a 3rd brake light extension under our KR Off-Road brand. It'll extend your factory 3rd brake light up a bit so that you can fit 35" - 41" tires

Made right here in America out of stainless steel + powder coated black with a lifetime warranty. Certainly not the cheapest option BUT at the same time it's 100% American Made (and we also use Stainless Steel instead of regular steel, which can rust over time if you scratch it, the stainless won't rust if you scratch the powder coating off our bracket)

I tried the RC extension on mine, and it seemed to stick it up too high for 35's, so I want to track down the part from the SAS trucks.

I ended up with the Oracle spare wheel LED Ring. It removed that ugly 3rd brake light and with the top completely off as it is, more rearward vision.

Can you post a picture of what your OB looks like with the 35's and stock wheels? trying to decide if I want to keep them or not

The tires are Yokohama Geolander 285/75/r18. They are flush with the fender flares.

I am eliminating mine all together and doing the brake ring that attaches behind the spare tire. Same thing I did on my JKU.
