You should get the tf hd hinge and use the stock tire carrier. Cuz just getting a relocation bracket will help you to carry a 35.but won't help the tailgate itself from breaking apart if you do a lot of offroading

The teraflex is probably your best bet. If you go with either of the other oversized tire carriers go with the smittybilt. It is an exact replica of the bestop and a portion of the price.
