I'm going to install 37's with the stock wheels... At least to start.
I purchased my Rubicon with plastic bumpers and without the tow package. Pre-purchase, I expected to get different bumpers and be able to install a hitch and harness for a fraction of the price of the tow package and metal bumper kit with winch bracket (I won't install the bigger battery or alternator).
If I go with something like the Roam rear tire carrier I will get a tow hitch, metal bumper and carrier for about the same price as just the Mopar reinforcement kit.
The only advantages that I can think of for the Mopar kit is that I won't have to open the tail gate separate from the tire carrier. And, I think I'll have a better chance of the reinforcement kit not squeaking (the tire carrier on my CJ7 squeaked while off road).
Any thoughts on a tire carrier/bumper vs the Mopar Reinforcement Kit?
Anyone with the reinforcement kit wish they waited on aftermarket tire carriers?
