I have a 2021 on order with the Jeep reinforced hinge gate reinforcement option, but I still need to settle on a relocation bracket to allow the 35" spare to clear the bumper. I've prepurchased the Mopar bracket, but I'm having second thoughts. The adjustable Teraflex bracket (link below) is slick, but heavy (23 lbs). This replaces the OEM bracket but is 3X the weight of the plastic OEM bracket. My wheel/tire weigh 102 lbs. That means I would have 125 lbs on the tailgate. Should I be worried? I've always had frame-mounted carriers in the past.
