For the tailgate reinforcement do you have a rotopax mount for it? Seems easy enough to do since you have the slots for accessories at the hinge. Maybe an "L" shaped bracket so it sit next to the tire

There is limited room in this spot when the gate is open. The quick fist mounts shown in the photos are about it.

The mounts are called "quick fist". We don't sell them, but many online retailers do.

Do I need to install the brake light spacer if I am not changing my stock tire? I understand it's only for when you are changing to a bigger tire, correct?
A

Correct, that spacer is to accommodate larger tires.

There is no official load rating, however we designed it to help reinforce the tailgate when running larger spare tires, up to 37".

The reinforcement plate and hardware were top-notch. I watched the install video a couple of times prior to actually doing the install, and the install went off without a hitch. I was really impressed that I received a phone call from JCR asking if I had any issues with their product. Unfortunately, at the time of the call, I hadn't even opened the box yet. Speaking of the box, I was equally impressed with how the product was shipped. Great packaging, for sure. I'll buy from JCR again when the needs arises.
Note From JcrOffroad: Thanks for the review Jay!

Bought the tailgate reinforcement from JCR because it lifted the spare 2". It shipped quick and packaging was great. Came with all hardware. The guy in the install video made it look easy. Hardest part: alignment to the hinge. Like previous review, the bolts don't come black to match finish. Still a 5 star. I'm able to open the tailgate with my M416 trailer attached. Before the spare was hitting the hitch. If I could upload the pictures I would. Great product.

Installed this yesterday. Went very smoothly and was able to do it solo. Tip: Disconnect the tailgate's shock assist. Makes for adjusting the tailgate a easier to line up those M8's with the hinges. The only nitpick I have is that the M8 for the hinges aren't black to match the bracket as they are in the install video. Shoot, even the picture above shows they are allen bolts used for the hinges. Not a big deal. Holds my 100lb 37" tire/wheel with ease.
