If you measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on the hitch of your 2014 Jeep Wrangler to the furthest point out on the rear spare and it measures less than 11-1/4 inches the bike rack part # S63400 will fit and clear.

When we get Wranglers in here typically that dimension is right at 10 inches or slightly over, so this would work for you. You could also look at the Thule Hitching Post part # TH934XTR that has even more clearance. See install video I attached.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
