Question Lifting spare tyre mount

I have a 2011 JKU which has recently taken on the additional duties of towing my pop top caravan. Unfortunately with the van hooked up I cannot open the tailgate as the spare hits the top of the tow hitch. (I am running stock tyres and rims). Other than removing the spare the obvious solution is to lift the spare tyre on it's mount slightly. A Google search reveals a number of products but before I buy online I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with a tyre relocation bracket that could give me some feedback.

Additionally if anyone has an alternative suggestion (other than deflating the spare) I would be open to ideas.

Thanks in advance.
