Caught the Bug
One other consideration my wife pointed out, What about the stock spare tire carrier, can it hold a 35" short term? or will I wind up ripping it off the panel if I hit a bump? Note, I'm not running a "bumper", just an EVO facia...
As long as you isolate the tire from moving, the stock carrier is plenty strong for a 35" tire. I use the Daystar tailgate bumpstops to accomplish this. No movement and works as intended.
