Gary Lewis Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 I don't think Gary wants to deal with crawling under the truck to get the spare, and he has a roll out cover so can't use the 'stand up in the bed' factory type wheel mount. BB is a lot of "stuff" in a small bag. 😉 Yep, that is true. And you can see from the pic above (done w/o a # on the post) that the spare takes up a lot of room in the bed - even though that jack is now on the LH bed side not the tire. The toolbox reduces the length and then the spare in the middle effectively makes the bed quite small. So, as said, going to NM last year our suitcases and the needed camping gear had it FULL. Given that, if I get to do it again I'd like to have the spare on the bumper, and this bumper is a way to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Your narrower tires should only be 30.4" diameter. You have a hard time fitting them between the receiver side plates?
