It is easy to figure whether a hitch accessory like the etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874 will fit well at the rear of a vehicle like your 2007 Jeep Wrangler that has a rear-mounted spare tire. All you need to do is take one simple measurement. Please refer to the linked article which shows how to measure from the hitch pin hole to the rear edge of the spare. This measurement tells you the clearance you need from the accessory carrier.
The etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874 will need just over 9-1/2-inches of room from the hitch pin hole when folded up in its storage position in order to avoid contact with the tire.
In terms of weight, keep in mind that the carrier's own 48-lb weight still counts against the hitch capacity. If your hitch is rated for 500-lbs then once you deduct the carrier's weight you are left with a net cargo weight capacity of 452-lbs.
If you'd care to add a cargo net to secure your items you can use part # SR0035. For tie-down straps for larger items use # SR0700.
