As long as you have less than 7-1/4 inches from the center of your hitch pin hole out to the rearmost edge of the spare wheel and tire you have installed on your 2006 Jeep Wrangler the Thule Apex Swing XT part # TH9027XT would be your best option since it would clear the spare without an extender and since it can swing out with bikes loaded would give you total access to the rear cargo area with bikes loaded.
