Anyone know if I need to get a rear tire carrier if I jump up to a 35" tire?

 

You shouldn't have to you'd just need to get a spacer for your stock carrier.

 

But your more than welcome to if you wanna spend money

 

What about my rear light?

 

I run a 35. I have enough backspacing that i dont need a spacer. It doesnt cover the light, if thats what you're asking. I do recommend taking the spare off and strapping it in the back on the trails. Maybe its just me, but i dont want a big tire like that doing all that unnecessary bouncing around on a stock plastic carrier. BTW, why is the thread called '4" lift' if the only question was about the spare carrier

 

I disagree,,, a 35" tire will definitely sag your tailgate over time,, I'v seen it. Do it right and get the appropriate tire carrier.

 

I am working on a 4" lift and have 35" tires to put on. I am just getting some information before I get started. Any suggestions for a rear tire carrier that won't cost me the farm?

 

Any suggestions for a tire carrier

 

Hanson makes one that is pretty minimalist,,, but it's also expensive. Try looking at Northridge 4x4's web sight, as well as Quadratec's sight. they have a lot of options to think about. If you see yourself getting an aftermarket bumper in the near future, see if you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Good luck!

 

I went to a 35 " tire and put my 35" spare on the stock carrier . I actually do go wheeling in my JKUR. My tailgate is now bent just from the weight of the tire . I now have a Hanson rear bumper with a tire carrier. My tailgate is still bent . You decide. Good luck
