I went with the Smittybilt SRC Oversized Tire Carrier. It's strong and sturdy enough and I like that I can lock it easily. Cost $130 on Amazon and was easy to install. No bad rattle unlike before without it. One day I'll have a bumper tire carrier combo but till then it's cool. Welcome to the 35" club! :rockon:

You'll get a few different responses but please be aware that the stock carrier has cracked in the past on a new jeep with a stock sized spare.
You can do the teraflex hinge and carrier to keep a relatively "tame" look while also handling the tire without worries of damaging the tailgate or cracking the carrier.
That didn't answer your question though. You can buy a third brake light relocation kit or cut the brake light off and buy the lug nut light kit. It's $35 or you can piece it together for under half of that.
