    Hello Tacoworld, I've been storing my 285 spare in my bed but have decided to try to stuff it in the stock location, after a quick search it seems that shouldn't be too much of an issue besides bending the brackets and making sure i clear the exhaust and rear end. I read some conflicting information though on how much clearance you can get to your hitch. I need to order a hitch reciever for my truck soon to pull a trailer and want to make sure I get one that will work with a 285 spare under there. I know its a tight fit, what hitch are you guys using? If theres a thread on this please point me there and I can delete this one. Thanks TW
