I have a 19' JLU Sport with the stock plastic bumper. I'm looking to mount my 35" tires (315/70 R17), but I don't want to run into issues with the swing gate/hinges sagging due to weight or the stock plastic tire carrier breaking.
I'm not really interested in changing the bumper and going the "bumper mounted" route since I don't want to lose my towing hitch, nor the backup camera, nor the third brake light.
Is there a "set in stone", best-you-can-buy option for this yet? I've been looking at the "Mopar way", but the Mopar reinforcement for the hinges costs $500 alone, then it also requires a relocator for the carrier (that moves it up) for another $250. Some other 3rd party companies are selling everything you need for around $500-$600, so I am curious what this community has tried so far.
Thanks.
