Probably not. I have a 33" tire and it touches the bumper.. 2 more inches and I'd imagine the tailgate wouldn't shut. Unless u trim some of the plastic maybe.. Cutting is fun... Lol

35's will hit. I had to purchase an adapter to lift it up about an inch and a half and out. It was only a short term fix, getting a dedicated tire carrier will solve the problem and eliminate many others. It will get you by for a while though.

it depends on the backspacing of the wheel. My 35 is mounted on a wheel with 3.75" backspacing and fits fine. I just had to extend bumpstops to keep spare from vibrating.

x2. It will not fit on a stock rim. Believe me, mine's sitting in the garage waiting on my relocation bracket from Northridge. The brackets aren't very expensive. They range from $35-$100.

My 35" Nitto is on the stock carrier. 4.5" backspacing with the Daystar tailgate bumpstops. 1/2 inch of the tire rests on the stock bumper which actuslly helps support the tire.

Just going by info provided to me by a local Jeep dealer (when researching a lift) I was told that once you go beyond a 33" tire its best to replace the tire mount with one thats integral with a bumper. I was told the gate will hold the 35" tire but may vibrate causing both a noise issue and potentially damage the gate.
