37" Tires Question... tailgate / spare?

[BlueBronco]

Anybody running a 37" spare with factory hardware?

Yes. Going on 16+ months now without issue. Sure, the reinforcement is nice, but as pointed out the tailgate is rated for ~130lbs so it is definitely not a must. Now, if you are going to start adding accessories (cans, boards, jacks, etc) to the tire/tailgate then reinforcement is a good idea.

So I have a 22 Wildsquatch that i'm leaning towards putting 37s on. Going with a 2.5" lift.
My question is regarding the tailgate/spare. Does any modifications need to be done (other that extending the brake light) in order to fit a 37" with stock Sasquatch wheels?

Going with Toyo Open Country MT.
Looks like it would be really tight.

Wildtrak is the top trim and always sasquatched! No need to clarify when you’re already king of the hill

As far the reinforcement bracket. Toyo MT 37s only look to be around 6lbs heavier than the factory squatch 35" goodyears. Does the extra 6lbs really warrant a reinforcement?


Appreciate the responses.

Toyo mt's I thought were super heavy. Last I looked they were close to a 100lbs for a 37.
