If I were to switch to someone's sasquatch take offs from my big bend wheels/tires would I also need to change the center brake light post?

Yes and remove your crash bars and get a lift.

I knew about the crash bars.. lift is recommended, yes.. no one mentions the 3rd brake light though... Guess I'll have to locate one of them when the time comes...

You don't need a lift but you do need to remove the front and rear crash bars in the front wheel wells. Also, my 35" spare fits snug under the factory 3rd brake light but it does fit...

Source: I've done this.

Just buy the extension. I believe Rough Country makes one. (As for lift it's not recommended it's pretty necessary. )

I just put 35s on my BD and I did not have to relocate the 3rd brake light. My wheels have 0 offset though, so that probably contributes. It just peaks over the top.

A 3rd brake light extension from Rough Country is $30, and if fixes the issue.
