Sorry. Didn't realize that was stock weight.

Everyone is warning against this but it is only 14 more lbs than stock. Surely it can handle it without doing damage.

Maybe my saving grace is the fact that I am using a bias tire and alloy wheel which are both lighter than steel or stock rim and radials.

An other option you have is the oversize tire carrier from HighRock 4x4

This what I did and I'm very happy with this. It include the 3rd Light relocation extention. You can fit tire up to 37" with this.

Hope this help.

Like others have stated, I wouldn't put that much weight on the tail gate for risk of damaging it.

On a side note, do you have a pic of your jeep on thos iroks yet? I'm waiting on my wheels and will be doing the same thing, 36" iroks. Am curious as to how it's gonna look. Should be awesome.
