Jeep claims the tailgate will handle a 35" tire, but with a $50K vehicle - a few hundred dollars for some insurance is worth it in my opinion, especially if you plan to do any offroading. I have the Mopar Reinforcement Bracket and have been carrying a 38 on it for nearly a year and it is solid!I am adding 35” tires and wondering if the tailgate reinforcement bracket is necessary for a 2019 JL 4 door Rubicon. Was looking at the DV8 tire bracket for about $250. The mopar bracket and tire mount are nearly $800.
