35in tire fitment on stock tailgate
Getting 35's with stock 17in rims. Need to run with the full spare. what are people doing and using for mounting it on the tailgate?

You want these two things:
Spare Tire Carrier Reinforcement:
Off Camber Fabrications 130903 - Off Camber Fabrications Spare Tire Reinforcement Kit for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec
Note, for the carrier re-enforcement it comes with a bolt used to snap off the factory nuts on the tail gate, go to the hardware store and by a couple of grade 8 bolts (you will probably go through more than one) of the same size, the one Off Camber Fabs provides will snap on you.
Daystar KJ09144BK - Daystar Tailgate Bump Stops for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec (May not need these with the stock wheels)

before i upgraded to a new bumper with tire carrier, i had a 35" spare on the stock carrier. the tire rested perfectly on the bumper, which i think would help relieve any stress from the heavier wheel/tire combo. but i was using aftermarket wheels with 4.75 backspacing. i'd guess that a 35 on a stock wheel will hit the bumper before the tailgate is properly closed. so you might need a wheel spacer... but i could be wrong.

If you run a 35 you need Teraflex 1907200 - TeraFlex Spare Tire Extension Bracket for 97-14 Jeep® Wrangler TJ, TJ Unlimited, JK, Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec. It moves the tire up to clear the bumper but will block the stock 3rd brake light. Also you will need to extend the bump stops on the rear door.

You will need to do something, my 285/75-17s (34") sit real tight on the bumper, I'll get a picture and add it in just a bit
