What are the limitations of the stock spare tire carrier?

I also read 85lbs although I'm not sure how "official" that is other than a Jeep rep saying it at a car show or something (correct me if I'm wrong).

It's officially in the owner's manual...

Question. I am picking up my 392 (soon) and already have many of my upgrades ready to go!

I picked up the new BFG 37 K02 C Load tires. I also picked up the quadratech spare tire relocation kit. This tire is only 13 pounds heavy than the stock BFG tire. I wasn’t planning to reinforce the tailgate right off the bat.

Do you think this will be fine for the 13 pound weight difference?

Does it put you over 85 lbs?

Thanks for the reply I don’t know the weight of the stock 392 wheel.

Where, I just looked through all the entries for spare tires?

My setup is 35s on a relocation bracket, it’s 110lbs. been running this for almsot a year, about 5000 miles. Zero issues on the highway, it occasionally rattles on trails, but even that has not been a major issue. but if it’s rattles a lot it will likely become an issue down the road.

so I’d say, at 33” under the 85lbs your fine, if you go bigger….. then you gotta consider how much you drive it on the highway vs trails

315/70R17 KO2's on Rubicon wheels is around 86lbs plus the 5lb? for the relocation braket.
