35" on stock tire carrier
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 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.
