Question:
Would like to know if you have a recommended trailer hitch cargo carrier for the 2016 Jeep wrangler unlimited. I would like the door and spare tire to clear the rack in a perfect world.

As a first step, you will need to determine what kind of clearance you will need. Measure from the hitch pin hole rearward until you clear the furthest rearward portion of the spare tire. The cargo carrier you choose will need to have a shank that is longer than that dimension. The FAQ article I've linked for you shows how to take that measurement.
The Pro Series 24x60 Cargo Carrier, part # 63153 has 12-3/4 inches of clearance between the hitch pin hole and the closest portion of the carrier basket, which should be plenty of clearance unless you have an enormous spare tire. A 20 cubic foot capacity cargo bag, part # 988501 is also available.
The Surco Spare Tire Mounted Cargo Carrier, part # SPSJ4319, although it is a smaller carrier, would be an innovative solution with no worries about clearance, but it is limited to a 100 lb capacity.
