I assume its for a 4.5x5 bolt pattern, not the 5x5 JK?

Great question!  I've never mounted it, and it was supposed to be, so I assume it is too!  I'll check tonight.

Hey doug, do ya have a picture of what this looks like mounted by any chance?

I'm assuming you just deflate the spare to install the mount, if you want to take the hi lift out for use do you have to?

Hey, yeah, you want the pin to hold the hi lift tight so that when you air up the spare, after the bolts are tight, the hi lift can't move or rattle, but if you loosen the bolts it comes right off.  You don't have to deflate, you could just put it on and tighten the bolts, but it's a much easier install if you deflate.

Yes, it is made for a TJ and is 5 x 4.5.  Thanks!
