Spare Tire Size

Looking to upgrade my spare to match my current tire size. Does anyone know if a 35” tire will fit in the normal spot under the bed.

 

Yes but u have to bend or cut some tabs

 

Thanks.

 

285/75r18 fits for me with tabs bent. Think upgraded shackles reduce this potential.

 

That is the actual size of the spare I purchased used. Im thinking it should be close enough to the 35 12.50
tire to not make a difference if needed due to flat.

 

Gonna ask a dumb question. What is BFH?

 

Lol Big F****n Hammer I’m assuming lol

 

I fit a 285/75 r18 (slightly taller than a 35") on the stock steel wheel underneath the bed.
I have Coachbuilder +2 shackles (which reduce clearance on each side by at least 1/2")
I completely removed the stock tabs/guides and I relocated the winch mount slightly forward and more center.
Fits great now

 

How did you go about moving the spare tire winch?

 

I fit a 35" with 20 x 10 wheel under my truck and yes did a lot of cutting and hammering. Didnt have the time to drill. Also cut up some 2x10 boards for the bottle jack.

 

The winch/crank assembly is bolted to the frame with 4 bolts (I think it's 4, can't remember). I removed the assembly, re-drilled the holes and mounted it back up. All in all, I only moved it about 3/4" of an inch, but it allowed the tire to center itself better between the shackles and move forward while keeping the angle of the chain nice and plumb to the pulley.
