    ...too much shit to list.
    Deflate the spare to ~10 psi.
    It'll give you a little bit of wiggle room and you have OBA.

    Got some rear shackles and the flip up license plate holder

    and the clearance with the tailgate down

    [​IMG]

    I'm still waiting on the license plate lights from AP. And I'm thinking of different ways to hook up the OBA coupler. I also have to weld on a bracket underneath for the 7-pin connector since the one that's on there won't clear the 7 pin with the 33" spare

    Got some exhaust work done.

    After getting the new rear bumper and getting the 33" spare, I needed to reroute the driver side tail pipe

    [​IMG]

    Then rerouted the exhaust pipe near the transfer case

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    After mocking up different ideas, decided to move the OEM y-pipe back some, so that everything after the y-pipe still has some independent play in case of movement

    Next up: T-case skid

    Got a little more work done last night

    Finally mounted the rear air coupler. I positioned it so that it clears the bumper and still be easily accessible.

    tailgate down
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Got the license plate lights from AP. They came in chrome so I painted them black :D

    [​IMG]

    The 7-pin connector wouldn't fit on AP's bracket because of my 33" spare, so I had Jerry from B.A.M.F tack on a little tab on the outside, and used one of the holes from AP and drilled into the new tab.

    Another shot of the exhaust relocation by the transfer case. You can see how much more clearance there is now

    Awesome ride!!! what size cam-locks did you use for the bed compartment locks??

    Also the shovel mount that you have; what hardware did you use to hook it up to the track in the bed?

    Thanks
