Oversized tires and off-road abuse put real stress on the Bronco's swing-out rear gate, particularly at the hinge and spare tire mounting points. Rough Country's Bronco Tailgate Reinforcement ties those two points together with a solid-steel bolt-on plate, distributing weight evenly across both hinges and reducing the strain that leads to premature wear, sagging, or gate damage.
Solid-steel construction built for the trail. The reinforcement plate is fabricated from durable steel and finished in a powder-coated black to resist corrosion and maintain a clean appearance over years of use. It handles the added load of larger aftermarket wheels and tires without flex or fatigue.
Bolt-on installation with no fabrication required. The plate ties directly into existing hinge and spare tire mounting hardware, so no drilling, cutting, or welding is needed. The straightforward process keeps installation accessible for a Saturday morning in the driveway.
Compatible with factory and aftermarket spare tire carriers. The reinforcement works alongside the OEM swing-out gate hardware as well as Rough Country's own spare tire carrier kits, giving owners flexibility whether they are running stock equipment or a full aftermarket setup.
