    You could have a muffler shop reroute your exhaust to clear the spare. It should be a pretty straightforward job. I had a tailpipe mandrel bent to hug the frame and clear my spare.

    What were the options at this exhaust shop?...3" out the back or 6" through the bed? That is a awfully big diameter for a v6 ...just saying
