What do you guys think about the clearance from these pics? What changes need to be done for better clearance?
I'm heading out to night class right now but sure, no problem. As for clearance you'll see why I went with the dynomax supercat. Aside from matching the 2.25" tube flow, it is a little more compact and let me rotate it to level rather than the whole 60-odd-degrees the factory did for clearance and heat dissipation. My main hurdle is that with a 31" stuffed in back, it would almost touch the tailpipe, and caused some light scorching. I am using a ratchet strap to pull the wheel over to the right and then at the same time am tightening it down on the lift winch. Looks a little off from the back but for now until I figure out how I want to set up my rear box storage it'll work.

*I am looking at a box I can fit the spare under and at the same time, since we're expecting w/i the next 3 months, integrate the baby-seat latch buckle for the center-up-over-the-top 5th strap for our baby carrier, to have it like the '96 and newer vehicles. I talked to a pal at CHP and he liked the idea and said it should work out better than some of the "ghetto-certified adapters they've passed off as safe".

Pics will (should) be up really later tonight or tomorrow.
