85# - Tire carrier?
I am going to be running a 35 inch tire with a total tire and wheel weight of 85 pounds Pretty light for 35s. Do you guys think I will need a tire carrier or just an adapter. I wil do very little offroading. Some trail running maybe and not much of that. Daily driver.

Some have issues, some don't. All onroad, you should be ok until you get around to an alternative, but you might want to get some bumpstops to keep the tire from twisting side-to-side.
I ran a 35 like that for almost four years with no issues. (but again, others 'have' had problems hanging 35's off the stock carrier) |
Your going to get many different opinions on this topic. My opinion is as long as the wheel is pressed up against the stock tailgate bumpers or extended Daystar bumpers you will be just fine.

Thanks for your replies. I decided to go with the smittybilt oversize tire carrier. I like that I can just open the the gate without swinging a carrier out of the way first and the price. I didn't find anyone who suffered tailgate damage while using one. If I start wheeling more I will update it. Thanks again.

Works nicely for me, with 35". Holds up to 40". |

Another good option for you would be the Teraflex reinforced hinge. It beefs it up quite a bit and still keeps the stock tire location and function.
