Replace the T Rex with the Tyrannosaurs from The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Why? They're on Isla Sorna, which is a restricted wildlife preserve. How on Earth would they have gotten them to Isla Nublar? It isn't impossible, mind you, it just seems like explaining how they obtained permission to capture them and how they transported them and integrated three full-grown T-rexes into the park setting is something that'd needlessly bog the movie down. That honestly sounds like it'd benefit more from being the focus of its own movie, as opposed to being crammed into one that's already got more than it needs.

I also worry it'd turn the final battle with the I-rex into something like the V-rex fight in King Kong, wherein Peter Jackson apparently decided to top the original movie by having Kong fight three predators at once, resulting in a sequence that was an overcrowded CGI mess. Jackson's Kong was goofy and over-indulgent and lacked any sort of restraint whatsoever, which is fine, and, well, so was Jurassic World, but having three T-rexes would push it over the edge from "over-indulgent" into "outright self-parody" due to the fact it'd just be way too much, especially if it isn't the main focus of the plot. If the T-rex family were the main dinosaurs, then their inclusion and any setpieces revolving around them could be justified, but if they'd only fulfill the role of Rexy in being released to take out the I-rex, that just seems way too gratuitous to have three T-rexes.

It also means pretty much writing Blue out of the finale as well. She already seemed a little out of her depth fighting alongside Rexy. Having her do it with three T-rexes would reduce her even further, so to avoid doing her a disservice, you'd need to write her out of the climax entirely.
