Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation to Clear Rear Spare of 2007 Jeep Liberty
Question:
I have a Jeep Liberty with a rear mounted spare tire and am curious if this rack will work with the approximately 12-13 inches of clearance that is needed.

Expert Reply:
12 to 13 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin on the bike rack out to the nearest part of the rack is a bit more than most bike racks will have including the Saris Glide part # SA774 you referenced. Best option we have for you is the Swagman Titan 2-bike rack part # S63400 which measures 14-1/2" inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the upright bar of the carrier.
I attached a review video for this rack on a similar 2012 Jeep Liberty for you. It does not have the spare at the rear like your Jeep does. The video shows the 4-bike version of this rack # S63410.
