there are several online stores that offer an extension on the stock tire carrier to fit it. the stress on the tailgate might not be worth it
an upgrade on the bumper is more expensive but allows up to a 37" tire and mabe a hi jack and/or jerry can mount.

my 35 is fine on the back. *knock on wood*
Some of the weight is off of the gate when closed because it restes on the bumper. Not enough to have anyt issues closes the door though. I've had it on for about a year with no issues.
