DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Buy my ticket

 

Not that, but I’m thinking about going to check TexPlex that morning. There’s SXS and pre runner racing, as well as, a new RC track I wanna check out.

 

I'll be in Ennis for streetcar takeover.

 

Anyone have an OME lift and 265/75/16s? Since picking up my four wheel camper I've struggled on where to put a spare. I have 255/85/16s now but need new tires soon. I was gonna go 285s cause the options but also dont want my spare in my backseat forever and cant fit it under the bed and my swing out now long is on the bumper. Thoughts?

 

You can move the stock spare hanger & chain rearward by drilling two more holes and fit a 33" tire.

 

I currently have 285/75R16's on the OME lift and have the spare in the stock location. @Naveronski beat me to it but I've run 265/75R16 before too and it worked just fine too.

 

Pics? Did you relocate it?

 

Is there a thread? That's a great idea. Just drill two additional and move it rearward using the original rear holes plus the two new drilled?

 

Thats all there is to it.

 

Doesn't look like there is enough room, but I'll check it out. Thanks everyone!

 

Thats all I've ever read that it took. I never did mine since I got a swing out bumper. Pretty sure a few guys in this thread have done it.

 

My other option is to figure out s way to extend the swingoit away from the truck a few inches so it clears the camper.

 

I could get you a pic from my 3rd gen with out the hoist in the way tomorrow to see the hole placement and room where you can drill the new holes.

 

Not a great angle but you can see the holes

I did it. Es bueno.

If you have a ratcheting wrench set, this would be a good place to use them.

 

Wasnt kidding about midnight maintenance day. Got my oil and filter, cabin and air filter, both diffs, my tcase, transmission and my headlights changed. Next up is spark plugs, idler pulleys and CSF radiator with new coolant.

 

Just saw this but I'll try and get a pic later tonight. Full disclosure, I'm not sure if the relocate was done as the 285 spare was there when I bought it years ago (not super helpful I know).
