Spare Tire

So now that I got my tires on the truck I want a fullsize spare. I run the BFG AT 285/70/17. That wont fit under the truck where the spare is kept right? So what options do I have on getting a spare and securing its location?

You have several options.

You can alter the area beneath the bed to fit your tire. There is a write up in the Write Up section on the forum on how to do this.

You can buy a tire gate to replace your stock tailgate (see attachment).

Or you can just leave it in your bed and tie it down with some straps to the D rings.

 

what are those tiregates running these days?

 

HIGH, I wanted one but i wasnt goin to pay what thay wanted I use to have a Fabtech in bed tire carrier but it takes up a good part of the bed.

I was able to fit Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/70/17 under there without any modifications. It's a tight fit and it's about an inch or two from the top. It doesn't touch the exhaust pipe either. I do have a 3" lift, so it's no where near the ground and it actually looks pretty good.

 

same here. took about 15 minutes to do the mod. now my 285 75 r16 pro comp xterrain tire fits fine.
