I just realized that if i want to change tire, I need after market tire carrier and bumper...

what if i choose lt 295 or lt 285 tire, still do i need for new bumper and carrier?

I was running a 35x12.5 on my stock carrier with no issues. For piece of mind I added the MBRP reinforcement kit and mount extender.

So to answer your question. NO, you don't need to do anything. Just be careful and keep in mind you will have more weight back there and make sure you mount the tire and check clearances before you slam the gate shut.

One. You won't NEED a new tire carrier.

Two. You bought a Jeep.

Running 275/70/18 Duratracs right now. Stock no issues yet. 30 days in.

even a 285 sized tire you need to have a carrier unless your into risking
the repair order later on once your door buckles .
these people who answer with poor advise shouldnt advise anyone anything. misery enjoys company i guess .

Keep in mind some tires are much heavier than others so it's possible to have a 33" heavier than a 35". Also steel wheels are heavier than aluminum and a 35 on a 15" wheel will carry more rubber than on an 18". Street driving is usually a lot less stressful on parts than off roading. A lot of variables in whether or not you need a carrier.

I've ran a 285 on my stock carrier for almost 5 years. I've only popped 1 spot weld.
I drive rough roads ALOT.
it worried me a lot at first, but I'm over it now, since I've time tested it.

I'm pretty sure the sizes you mentioned would fit behind the back seat in a four door. Not the best solution but throw it in, strap it down, and go.
