    I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have the same size on the other side too. Two major differences in size is a recipe for bad news

    If you take it easy you should be fine. Did you pick up a nail or something?

    No worries I'm going to take it easy and see how she does getting up the hill.

    Ricky I would put the spare in the front. You want your rear tires to be the same outside diameter.

    Just a thought, put the spare up front.

    Im not sure how much of a difference that would make, since i believe the differential is still spinning even if its not spinning the front driveline.

    I agree. Since you’re only 2wd right now it’s best to have the same tire sizing on the axle.

    Actually my tires are 265/70 and the spare is 245/75, about the same diameter

    Definitely!!! It is on my to do list for sure. I miss having things somewhat out of sight in the bed. The next few things left for the rig are:

    Sliders
    Tonneau
    Frontrunner Rack
    Traction Boards
    Slimline II hidden winch bumper

    Not in any particular order but most likely the tonneau and traction boards first lol

    I will wait until next mod day :fingerscrossed: no more complicated projects for me! Also the preload on the 6112s aren't that bad so far. I am hoping to take it on some trails next weekend to fully test it out.
