I'm only putting on 285/75s on, but curious if i should up the spare into the frame-rails more. Thoughts?
285s, should i raise spare tire carrier underneath?

Are the potholes that BIG in NY? 
Seriously, it's easy enough to do, why not? It takes all of 30 minutes and 2 beers!

I would do it, but I've got some emisions stuff up their on the '07 that would be a PITA to relocate.

just took down the spare, looked around to see it in 3D and put it back up....now im dirty and still at square one. Looks the same as in the FAQ thread, curiosity makes you very dirty. I'll attack this problem maybe this weekend, going to look for some longer bolts and something suitable for spacers first.
What tires are you going to run?

the "played out" as my friend calls them, BFG T/A KO's
Haha... looked like my Cruiser before slapping back the original rims back. I currently have 285/75/16 with AHC with no problems.But my 100 comes with the swing-out spare tire carrier in the back, not below. Chad

Not showing-off... just want to mention that the BFG AT 285/75 do fit fine with the 100 equiped with AHC and have not experienced any rubbing even with the bad road conditions & pot holes in the streets of Bangkok. Have not had the chance to try them offroad yet.

hehe not sayin that, about your OEM tire carrier in the back! *jealous*
Oh... sorry I misunderstood.
I personally prefer the tire underneath.

Loud,
I still stand by the steel pipe spacers. They have held up very well and I have had no issues for over 2 years now. Just do it man, you won't regret it.

I used the same thing over a year ago and all is fine.
