I am planning on getting new 35 inch tires and 18 wheels. Tots weight is going to be around 95 lbs. will I need to get the reinforcement bracket.

People i have spoken to are mixed. Any thought?

People on here will be mixed as well. Plenty have facts, they have been running heavier than that without any reinforcement and have no problems at all and they have been doing seriously wheeling.

Then just as many will come on here and tell you that you should. Best you just decide what makes you feel best.

I erred on the side of caution and added the reinforcement kit, my 35 spare is sitting nice and snug on the steel bumper.
