Sweet! I’ll stick a 37” spare on and skip the bump stop upgrade
But in all seriousness, the factory tire carrier can’t hold the weight of a 37? I hadn't heard this. Maybe there is a way to reinforce it..
I’m also interested in running a 37 on the smaller side of the spectrum once my OE 35’s run out.
There is a reason that Carli is currently testing their "trophy hitch"( and people will buy it for $2K.)
It is no fun looking into your rearview and seeing your spare a few hundred yards back.
On the weight side of it, the other poster is right. a bfg 37 is about the same weight. Any of the offroad tires with a thicker carcass are generally tall 37s, so they wont fit, but for comparison's sake, a toyo mt in 37x13.50 on a 17" raceline defender is 10lbs heavier than a BFG KR3 40" tire on a fifteen52 wheel. ( rough and tough 134 lbs)
weight aside, like i said before, my dif cover was rubbing my spare bfg 37 and down right stopped on a general grabber x3 37.
and food for thought, if you go with an aftermarket bumper to get a better departure angle, ( and trim the bedsides to match) it looks pretty goofy hanging 8 inches below the bumper. ( and is now what will drag in the dirt) .
