tailgate reinforcement weight limits?

At 5:40 into their video they lift the Bronco by this tire carrier… I think it’ll hold a lot of weight.

I have one and it’s awesome and great quality!

this doesn’t test how much weight it supports when opened. When closed there’s a lot of structural rigidity added by the tailgate lock and frame.

I guess the question is what happens if you exceed the rating on the hinges? Everyone says the stock hinges are rated only for 133 lbs but I have like 230-250lbs of weight on my hinges and it’s holding strong with a Hammer Built tailgate reinforcement… no sag, no crunches, no flex

This is good info. Sounds like the reinforcement plate upgrade can get you up to 100lbs more weight over stock.

That is on stock hinges
