Overview
The Body Armor 4×4 swing arm, part number 5295, is a tire carrier arm for Body Armor rear bumpers on the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. It carries a maximum 40-inch tire on a 42MM axle stub and uses a dual wheel bearing design.
The arm has a car-door style latch and is pre-drilled for the 5217 can holder system and the 5128 Hi-Lift jack brackets. It works with the #B/AJK-2395 rear bumper.

- Pre-drilled for the 5217 can holder system and 5128 Hi-Lift jack brackets
- Holds up to a 40-inch tire

Keeping the swing arm in service
A swing arm carries the spare’s weight at the back of the vehicle, so the bushings, bearings and mounting bolts see constant load. Off road, rocks, ruts and sudden landings put additional stress on the arm and the bumper attachment, which makes periodic inspection worthwhile. A cleaner, better-maintained arm also swings more smoothly when the tailgate opens.
Look at the wheel bearings for play and roughness, and confirm the latch engages fully before every trip. Lubricate moving points as your setup calls for, and wipe off road grit that can work into the bearing area. If the arm shows bent sections, cracked welds or a latch that no longer holds, replace the affected parts before carrying a spare again.
- Check bearing play after rough trails
- Test latch engagement with the spare mounted
- Inspect the bumper attachment bolts regularly
