Mopar tailgate renforcement with spare tire delete

[Bcsnave]

I am looking for a spare tire delete kit that works with a MOPAR reenforced hinge bracket.

Any of them should work since that keeps the stock carrier bolt pattern.

I had the Teraflex one and it worked fine with that kit. There was a little bit of an extra gap but not a big deal - I would imagine that would be the same for any of them as they intend to mount flush against the tailgate.

You would have to remove the MOPAR reinforcement bracket and replace the hinge bolts with the shorter ones.

Then they should all work once you remove it. The whole point of needing the MOPAR reinforcement bracket is to hold the extra weight of the heavier wheel / tire. Since you're doing a spare tire delete, you can also remove the whole reinforcement bracket.

My whole point of asking is that I know that I could take the reinforcement bracket off but wanted to know if anyone makes one that installs over it.
