Stock Tire Carrier
I plan on putting 35's on my 2010 2-door JK. Can my stock tire carrier support that or is there a part I can put on to fit the larger tire without buying an after market bumper and tire carrier.

It'll work...but after time it may start to warp your gate...or rip it off entirely. I got a carrier since mine was showing sings of warping. If you just carry it on the road or smooth conditions you should be ok for a while.

Yeah I've been seriously thinking either a new rear number w/ tire carrier or a new tire carrier cuz of all the rattle I get from
My tailgate... I only have 33"s but I can tell its putting stress on it

Found a deal at a local 4x4 shop on a rear bumper/carrier and put it on and now I don't know how I ever ran it on the door. Not recommended from me.
I did some research on the options to beef up the stock door and mounts. Honestly, the general agreement seems to be that these are just very temporary band-aids. I would think any sort of offroading and an trail that would hurt the stock mount would also hurt the aftermarket options.
