I know, I know, I know. you shouldn't put a 35" tire on the stock carrier cause it can't take the extra weight. well i'm doin it anyways. there is probably thounds of people running that setup and how many pictures do we see of screwed up tailgates. not very many. so my question is i have the 35" tire comin on 17" wheels with 4.5 inch backspacing. will this bolt right up to the stock bracket or will i need to put a spacer in there or change something up to make it work

 

I HAD..same set up and it bolted rt on...you will be fine...

 

How does the brake light look? Does it block out the light?

 

My 37s block the light....oh well, your 35s will bolt right up

 

I bought the MBRP extended kit because I'm running stock Rubi wheels and needed to get the tire a little further out. It's now further than it needs to be, but works fine. I used the MBRP tailgate reinforcement kit, and after a full year of DD and trail use, it's all still hanging in there just fine.

 

ive got a 35 on my stock carrier im running stock 16's to so i kinda put the presidential solution on it i spaced it out with some washers lol just until i can get myself a nice rear bumper and tire carrier

 

You will want to get the daystar tailgate bump stops???? You can cut them to the length you want and they keep the spare snug to the tailgate.

 

is there any other DIY mods onstead of buying bumpstop spacers. where i live shipping kills me on orders. plus i live in canada.

 

you can get hose for a radiator and cut it and place it on your bump stops to extend it to your tire

 

i'll try making some extensions myself then. Once i mount it i'll have a look and see what i can come up with.
