Ship or pick up in Connecticut, New York, Mass, rhode island

Mopar, EVO, Rusty's preferred but I'll consider anything that has some sort of hinge reinforcement to carry ridge grappler 35's
Oversized carrier as well

Thanks
Let me know

I have the full MOPAR kit from the factory along with the relocation package if you want to look at shipping it. I swapped it out for the RR hinge kit.

There's a chance that after Easter I'll have family from NY coming down and might be able to send it up with them but if you want it sooner, we can look at shipping.

Where in NY will they be coming from? That could work, how much were you looking for it?

They're in Binghamton/Vestal. I was thinking $300. Cost me $650 from the factory plus the brake-light relocation kit

I've got a tailgate reinforcement kit (O-Motor Amazon) and a Rough Country rear tire carrier plate (uses stock tire carrier). $225 shipped if you're interested. Worked well for me carrying a 37" tire, just went with a swing-out rear bumper and don't need anymore.

I don't really think you need a reinforcement tailgate hinge for a 35. I had a 37 on mine for about 6 months with no problems at all. I finally went with the RR when I went to 38s and beadlock wheels. Save your money.

I've read mixed reviews, my wheels and tires are close to 100 lbs i believe I think the stock limit is in the 80s I kind of want to err on the side of caution, unless i was overwhelmed with evidence proving otherwise.

@diexhard Rusty of @RUSTYS knows more than me! You could just go with the relocation piece for now!

thanks man, again Im open to saving money haha
I don't even think you need the tire relocation. Jeep bragged about 35s fitting on a stock Rubicon so I definitely think you'll have no problems.

I totally disagree with you on this. I had it on there and went to the RR hinge replacement kit because I felt like the tailgate needed MORE assistance. At a minimum I think anyone with 35s needs this. In my case, I wanted even more insurance

Like I said I had a 37 on there for 6 months and wheeled the shit out of it with no problem but what do I know.

Congrats!

I'm not saying it is going to fall off or something but I am saying that the tailgate definitely struggles with the weight. Listen to your gate and hinges with that tire on when you're swinging it in and out and think about what happens if you're on any kind of an angle when you're doing it. It'll swing out wide by itself on an upslope or try to crush you when you're on a downslope.

If your only goal is to keep it on the gate, do whatever. If you want a solution that offers some protection, reinforce. If, like me, you want to actually use your tailgate without worrying that it'll fly off one way or crush you the other, upgrade to a hinge kit.

It's a little 35" tire.
