Some guys said they fit their 37's on there, but I wouldn't want to put that much weight on it. I would say 35 max.

35's and up will require an adapter to raise the mounting height of the tire. Expedition One and Teraflex both have options to do this.

Not all 35's will require the relocation bracket. Depends on the rim backspacing. 37's definately need the bracket... thats what I'm using as a temp solution

I'm sure with the right backspaced wheel you could put a 44 on it, but that don't mean it's gonna stay put.

That doesn't seem like a good idea.

I have 35's on mine and it ruined the gate. The inside of the gate is breaking from thew weight of the tire and how it bounces on there. Im gonna have to get a heavy duty tire carrier i think. Ill get pics and show on here what it did asap.

Save yourself the cost of replacing your gate and invest in a carrier. If your going wheelin with rubber of that size anyway (35-37"), your stock bumper might not last very long anyway
