The tailgate probably isn’t beefy enough to support this mount plus a 35” tire.
Purchased this for my wife’s jku. She doesn’t off road so no need for a big expensive swing out carrier or bumper. This fit the bill and price point. It’s definitely heavy duty no issues installing it. It’s nothing fancy but it works and should outlast the stock garbage. Holding up to a 33x12.50 tire fine. Wouldn’t run any bigger tires as the tailgate is really thin stamping. The tailgate will likely crack and fail before this mount dose.

Overall a good value
Pros: sturdy, nice finish, value, studs are long. Kinda works for stock wheels.Cons: slight mods to make it work. Bottom bolt was not straight (not a big deal).This was easy to put on and is very well built. The finish is nice, with no visible problems with the paint.The bottom bolt was not straight when I received it, but the impact straightened that it when I mounted the tire. Easy to replace if I ever have to.The only problem is that the angle on the bottom side of the bracket is angled enough that with stock wheels and oversized tires (35x12.5/17), you'll have to use something as spacers to offset the wheel. That wasn't a concern for me, as I was using the EAG license plate relocation bracket that mounts on the rear tire. I had to trim down those studs and space with washers anyway, so it all worked out. The really nice thing is that the studs on the bracket are long enough to do all this and still have plenty to hold the tire on safely.For the price, it's a no brainer. I would def buy again if I had to.

Perfect fit, well made, but HEAVY
Eventually, I'm going to have to chop this thing up a little bit. The stock carrier weighs five pounds, and this iron beast weighs TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS!!! Since Jeep specifies the tailgate to carry only 70 pounds, and my tire/wheel is already almost 100 pounds, this carrier is worsening a marginal situation. Fortunately, my spare rests solidly on my bumper, so the gate only carries the weight when it's open (and the Jeep is not moving).It's way stronger than the tailgate on my JK, and honestly, I"d prefer for the carrier to be weaker, and fail before the tailgate gets wrecked. This monster is made from 3/16" and 1/4" steel plate, way over-engineered. It could easily have been made from 1/8" or even 0.090" and been strong enough for the job.All that said, it's well-made, well-finished, fits the tailgate perfectly, and has exactly the right dimensions for my 35" tire. So I knocked off the one star only because it's so ridiculously over-built.

Very sturdy
Extremely robust and heavy. No light on it but hangs a 33" with ease. Definitely will do 35" and guessing 37" as well. Uses your original 8mm bolts to hang.

Almost perfect but still great
Heavy duty but remember it only bolts to the skin of the tailgate so it need reinforcement from the inside is needed to make it structurally strong.

Poor quality control
3 of the 4 bolt receivers are crossthreaded and it cannot be installed. Tried to return but no luck.
