This is what you need:
TeraFlex Spare Tire Extension Bracket
I would also look at getting these to avoid damaging your tailgate.
MBRP Inc. Spare Tire Bracket Reinforcing Kit
and
Daystar Tailgate Bump Stops

that would be nice and cheap to do but also the tail gate will sag when opening it for the weight of the 35s thats what im really worried about i but it on and you can feel it sag a little so i think the tire carrier bumper is the best way to go but i cant spend no 1g on it

There's always the Rancho. Not much in the way of a "bumper", but for $400.00 it will carry your spare and save your tailgate.

They make alot of adaptors they push the spare out a little to allow you to mount a 35" tire. The problem is you'll get alot of vibration out of the spare because it will not contact the bump stops on the tailgate. This vibration will also cause wear on the tailgate and hinge assemblies. I made two lift plates that moved the whole spare carrier up 3" and then replaced the rubber bump stop on the tail gate with 3/8 flat head bolts I can adjust the meet the tire. I then mounted one of the factory bump stops on the bumper that helps support the tire when closed. Add a little felt strip to the button latch assembly and I get very little noise and no vibration. Temp fix till I can afford a rear bumper but better then anything I have seem on the market. If you'd like I'll post some pics when I get home. I now run a 37" spare.

Anything that doesn't take the weight off the tailgate will eventually fail. Rancho is the cheapest option, I can't comment on it.
I run the OR-FAB tire and can carrier unit, which you can get without a can carrier as well.
You can pay for a tire carrier now, or you can pay for one once your tailgate fails, and pay to fix your tailgate. It is probably better to run without the spare whenever possible than run without a carrier.
