    Hey everyone-

    Question: is anyone using the factory undercarriage spare tire storage for oversized tires? I'm running 285/75/R16 (32.8" diameter) tires , and have been carrying the spare in my bed. I wondering if there is a mod/way to utilize the factory undercarriage storage.

    Thanks for the help!

    Yes, it will fit. You may need to bang on supports so that the slightly larger diameter will fit. Just double check that when you put the spare of that it isn’t tilted in a way rubbed on the rear axle when flexing out the suspension.

    You may have to cut the exhaust off where it goes over the rear axle.
