Extra support for Bronco rear tailgate door?

[freezey00]

I am running a 37inch tire on my rear door with the RC reinforcement kit. When I open the door all the way I feel like there should be something to help that door because of how heavy the tire is. Anyone have anything or have seen anything for this?

Have you thought about going to a rear bumper with tire carrier?

Considering the rear door table, is supposed to handle something like a #50(?) load, in theory you should be fine.

Just spoke to my guys about this. You should be ok as long as you’re not doing some heavy off reading and hitting bumps and such. If you are, then get something to reinforce it, a lot of aftermarket options availabale.

Thanks - I always feel like the tailgate is going to fall off when I open the door.

You have the RC reinforcement. Should be fine holding the tire. Could be the strut? Is it sagging?
Something to help the door do what?
