35 Inche BFGoodrich Tires on stock spareTire carrier?

[jeepauug]

I have 315/70/17 KO2's with plastic bumpers and the spare fits fine, zero issues.

Same here - 315/70r17 KO2, no issues

You didn't say which JL you've got which might be the confusion. If you have a Rubicon, yes those tires will fit on the stock tire carrier with the stock plastic bumper. I added the reinforcement kit to support the added weight but I did not need the tire relocation kit. The 35's fit just fine. The only thing you'll have to do is raise the third-brake light up ( look at how it's bolted on and you'll understand what to do ). If you need visual evidence you can see my setup here.

Hey Wrangled,

I know this is an old post, but I'm having the same issue, and need to raise my third-light a little. Did you replace the two up-rights with longer pieces, or just not use the bottom screws of the bracket? Meaning - instead of using the four screws, you just lifted the up-rights, and only two screws.

Just lift it up and use 2 screws. It worked for me with 35’s.

Thanks, Mike! That's what I was considering, but I didn't know how solid it would be. How long have you had you're that way?

I might also try to find some square tubing and build two new up-rights a little longer than the originals. I need to get deeper into tomorrow and see what's going to work best for me.

It’s plenty solid enough. No need to overthink it.
