I have a 2022 JL Rubicon. The tailgate hinges have been upgraded and it carries a 35”. It has started squeaking though and it sounds like it’s the weatherstripping as it’s a rubber-sounding squeak. Anyone have this issue and solved it? I tried some silicone spray which seemed to help but didn’t alleviate the issue altogether.

I had a JKUR with squeaky rear gate seals. It also had a heavy duty spare holder.This stuff helped tremendously Attached File

This si exactly what I tried. Helped, but didn’t solve the problem entirely. Just applied some white grease. We will see how that works.

Upgraded hinges or not, have you ever come off an obstacle and landed on you spare tire? That is a 100% way to bend your tailgate...not the hinge area that people pay way too much to have fancy shit. My sqeakes and rattles, wife's doesnt...my tailgate is bent like a diamond due to hitting tire
