Kratos - The Tire Carrier designed for

WJ - 1999 to 2004 Grand Cherokee
WK - 2005 to 2010 Grand Cherokee (your hatch will sit 1/4" higher when shut after installing the new struts. The hatch operates, latches and seals as designed but it will sit 1/4" higher when closed. If you can live with that,then order. If it's going to bother you please do not order).
XJ-Tight fit and clearance through the narrow XJ gaps in the body panels. You may have to grind down the tire carrier at the edges if you find any part rubbing against the body. Once installed and verified all the edges all clear, it works as designed. 
ZJ - 1993 to 1998 models. The upper mounting holes on top of hatch need to be drilled out to 9/16th. The fitment of the carrier is tight and narrow on the top bolts. Once drilled, you'll use a small pry bar to assist in getting the nuts on. 

ATTENTION!!! Placing your rear tire on the back (hatch) of your vehicle causing an obstruction of rear-view may not meet your local State Vehicle Codes along with blocking your third brake light. Please check your local vehicle codes before placing an order. Buyer assumes all financial responsibility. It would be wise to purchase a 3rd brake light which mounts in the wheel well. Companies such as 4 Wheel Parts sell third brake lights.

Our tire carrier involves brute strength, power and force from the custom built struts  to raise that heavy offroad tire into the air. There for, with all that brute strength, power and force, we call our tire carrier "Kratos - The Tire Carrier".

In Greek Mythology.  Cratos was a son of the Titan Pallas (not to be confused with PallasAthena) and the goddess Styx. He was the personification of strength and power. The name is derived from the common noun Κράτος, meaning "force", "strength", or "power". The spellings "Cratus" and "Kratos" are also used.

Uncle Joe, weighing in at 184 pounds sits on top of his 97-lbs 35" tire all mounted to the Kratos. Excellent location to fish in the river from if we may say so...
