Works perfect amd easy to install

Two bolts (top/bottom) closest to gate hinges are TOO long and push the inside gate molded cover away from the gate. Had to substitute shorter bolts. Other than that, great product..

Simple installation. No real complaints
Relatively easy to install and I feel better having a 37” spare on the back with this reinforcement bracket on. Hardest part was getting the spare back on. I wish the bolt heads were black though. Ordered some black rubber covers to fix that but overall pretty happy with this.

Love this.
This woks awesome and it was EZ to install. I have a full size 35 on a 17 wheel on it and it definitely supports the weight! For the price I highly recommend this support! Been on my jeep for months now still love it. If I had one negative comment they should have powder coated the bolts black. I had mine done matte black.

Fit and finish is great, but……
I installed the tail gate reinforcement bracket to support 75 pound 33’s and I’m not disappointed. It was easy to install and looks good. I had read that the supplied screws were too long but thought how could the manufacturer get that wrong. Well, they got it wrong. When I tightened the 4 screws the panel on the inside of the tail gate was pushed off. I had to remove the 4 bracket mounting screws, one at a time, cut off 1/2 inch and then retorque each one. Not a big deal. Just a nuisance.

Bad
Many things are missing from the kit, the spacers and tools are not included either.

Does what it should
Does what its supposed to do. The supplies hardware is a tickle too long, but I didn't really worry about it. Seems to stiffen the door and it doesn't jiggle as much per bumps

Added support for tailgate.
Very easy to install. 2 of the 4 bolts (the 2 closest to the tailgate hinges) are too long for this application. When torqued to specs, they pop the inside tailgate panel off. I cut those 2 bolts down in order to close the inside panel all the way.

Very easy to install.
Very to install and more than enough for a stock wheel and tire.

Used for a year. Good, but would limit the load to narrow 35s max.
I had thos installed for almost a year now. This is not a bad product by all means, but I think it limits the tire size you can carry in term of weight. I bought this to reinforce the tailgate as I switched to 35 in. tires. can feel the original hinges flexing a bit when the tail door is open. However, It was easy to install and I combined it with a RC tire holder backing plate too. However, read the instructions carefully - you do need to reuse some of the original carrier bolts!

Lined up Perfectly.
Everything lined up perfectly. Extremely easy to install and i paired it up with the relocation kit.

Mounting bolts too long
Fit and appearance are great. The bolts they provide for mounting are too long and will pop the plastic off the inside of the tailgate. Bolts are also stainless in color for some reason when everything else is black. RC should provide black bolts that are shorter
