After getting the new spare tire to match the 32" tires on the TJ I noticed the 3rd brake light was pretty well hidden.
I checked it it looks like the Jeep engineers anticipated this by using extra long bolts to hold the 3rd brake light mount to the spare tire carrier.
Since I recently installed a SYE on my XJ I had some Rough Country 1" transfer case drop spacers. They looked like they would work for this job!

Now I think all will be able to see it with the exception of the lowest vehicles. :thumbsup:
