255/85/16 .. and hammer hangers

Anyone fitting a 255/85/16 spare with hammer hangers 2nd gen ?? Not looking for random comments /speculation.

 

I fit 255/80/17 after I bent the tabs slightly and moved the hoist back. . Essentially the same tire.

 

If you're running the cross tube you can kiss the spare tire location goodbye

 

can you explain this more? i know 255 75 17 (close to 255 80) fits no problem, and thought i heard the ones discussed here fit as well. whats a hammer hanger and a cross tube? the most ive seen someone do is angle grind off a few sections or spare tire area brackets and underside

 

If you gotta ask, it’s not something you will likely be doing…

neat, and i wont, youre right

 

To clarify 2nd gen ...already fitting a 255/85/16 in spare location..with cutting tabs ..pulling it tight to tow hitch my .is anyone running AFTER MARKET HAMMER HANGERS with a spare tire ...TIA

 

You should have some room to spare between the Archive hangers with that tire size. I'd take a measurement from hanger to hanger for you, but I'm not around my truck. @realsystem installed some recently and has his truck jacked up, so maybe he can get a measurement for you?

 

You'll get better traction if you just ask this question in the hammer hangers thread

Edit: straight from the man himself

 

A 255/85/16 fit with FACTORY hammer hangers .YOU DEFLATE AND KICK IT INTO PLACE !

 

I had 255/80R17, which is the basically the same size as 255/85R16, and never had to deflate or kick it to fit it between the factory shackle hangers. I also know a guy who fits a deflated 35x10.5R17 between the factory shackle hangers.

As noted in @Strictlytoyz's post, @ARCHIVE says there's more than 33.5" between the Hammer Hangers, so you shouldn't have trouble fitting a 255/85R16 (which is less than 33" diameter).

 

New bf mt ..you can probably get more clearance from pumpkin..if you kick it UP ..n...away touch the tow hitch and it will be higher than tie hitch ...I don't recommend YOU! do this ..might scuff up your office loafers

 

The fuck is a factory hammer hanger?

 

The 255/85/16 will fit, fully inflated in the spare tire spot with aftermarket hammer hangers. At least with BAMF. I’ve got that size tire and those hangers on mine and they fit. It’s a little tight but no issues.

 

Thank you ...do you rub on the pumpkin...when flexing ?

 

Rear leaf spring hanger

 

No that I’ve noticed, no scuffs or other signs and I’ve not looked whole at full flex.

 

Why would I be concerned with that?

 

Thanks you da man
