I am in analysis paralysis mode.
I have a 2022 Big Bend Non-Squatch and no rear locker. Auto transmission with gearing at the standard 3.73. Your basic off the lot Bronco.
I decided to upgrade to the Falken Wildpeak A/T3w LT285/70R17 C. Problem is they are heavy! BB rim and Wildpeak will weigh in at 87lbs per tire versus 58 pound with the stock Bridgestone Dueler. A nearly 30lb difference.
Two questions:

Two questions:
- Will an 87lb tire/rim combo require me to reinforce my tailgate?
- Should I be concerned with that per tire weight and my 3.73 gearing?
