Thanks. Nice ride! Where did you get the RC Relocation Bracket from?Just Empty Every Pocket !!
The new JL tailgates and made of a combination of magnesium / Aluminum at 1/4" thick compared to the 1/8" JK models . I have 20" rims with 35" tire and an RC relocation racket and its extremely solid ! ...no movement what so ever . Im confident with this set up as a DD but would consider beef it up If I decide to do some major off roading
Thanks for your response ! . I am very cautious in everything I do to Her and I do a complete research on what I want to do to her i.e Lift , tire size , wheel size , mpg , wear and tear on gearing , breaks and so on. Before pulling the trigger with this combination My first concern was the tailgate load limit based on the many stories I have read and I wanted all the parts needed there ready for install as soon as She landed at the dealership.
What is the width, offset and bore size of your rims?Just Empty Every Pocket !!

Yeah, I hope you will be OK. I knew the Mopar Beadlockers I put on mine were super heavy - very likely heavier than most. And then perhaps I was swayed too much by the thread on here where the OP dented his tailgate with a heavy wheel/tire combo. As FYI - below is a pic of what the OEM reinforcement really does. Without it, there is a gap of "just tailgate" between where the tire mounts and the hinges. As you can see in the pic below, the reinforcement kit spans that gap.... so that the load of the spare tire weight is on the hinge straps themselves and not the tailgate. No offense or disrespect to the dealership mechanics, but I'm betting they are not trained engineers. As such, knowing the wall thickness and load capabilities isn't necessarily obvious. For piece of mind, I opted for the kit.
Hi, I really like the rims setup you have, would you be kind to post a few more pics on the side of the jeep? btw, is your jeep a granite crystal color? Thanks much!
I weighed all that in and was going to go with the Mopar reinforcement kitYeah, I hope you will be OK. I knew the Mopar Beadlockers I put on mine were super heavy - very likely heavier than most.

33" tire is even lighter
Thank you for posting additional pics. Did you have to do the alignment after replacing new wheels & tires?https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/show-off-your-delivered-jl-here.2963/
My Rig is in a bunch of threads but heres a few more pics

Yes - the Jeep dealership did everything including Flashing for larger tires so speedometer was correct
