you're fine I ran a 33 on there for almost a year. The 35 I ran for about a month and the weight difference is definitably noticable.

No issues-- I have my 295 70 17 on Rogue rim and it is fine. I did add the daystar bump stops.

No problems but for added insurance, I added the spare tire reinforcement kit.

Ran 33x12.50R17 STT's....No issues with spot welds or hinges on the swing gate after 2.5yrs. I just needed to adjust the striker on the swing gate every so often as the swing gate would bang and rattle after a few off-roading trips. However, this spring, I finally upgraded to a rear bumper/tire carrier to avoid the striker adjustments and take the weight of the gate as I may go with 35's in the future.

Will also be running 33's on my spare. Im running 33 toyo's and 18's, there were a lot of talk of spot welds breaking, so I too opted for the MBRP reinforcement kit. Spot welds were indeed easy to break, but with the provided bolts(is that why they provided 2?), one of them finally broke after a few bends and wiggles..went to hardware store to get a better bolt to spare the extra work drilling out previous broken bolt. The rest came out with EASE! Couple bends up down side to side, done. Dont worry about bending tailgate, the spot welds will give way before any damage to gate. Just wished MBRP supplied a better bolt, instead of 2 weak bolts, and spare me the extra drive, I'd even pay a few more bucks if I had to!
