That’s heavy for 35s. I have 37s and the combined weight is 111.2 lbs (76.1 + 35.1). Suspension components will be fine. I’d suggest strengthening the tailgate. I’m using the Teraflex hinge carrier.
Thanks for the suggestion.. thats good to hear about the suspension components.. .. im thinking the same about the teraflex hinge too since I already have the teraflex carrier..

So this is my first lifted Jeep. I had it done just a couple weeks ago. I chose my wheels and tires without really considering weight. My wheels and tires are about 114 pounds. After reading what some people's combos weigh I am a little concerned. Especially when I read that my 35 inch combo is heavier than some peoples 37 inch combos. Am I going to trash components with this much weight on all 4 corners? Also with the spare hanging back there.
Tossing out the tailgate problem, the weight of the tires/wheels is insignificant compared to the weight of the vehicle.
