Spare tire mounting question

[cipstinger]

now that I added the new tires and wheels I need to mount the spare and was wondering if anyone has any input on what the largest tire will fit in the factory location I have 295/70/17 and if I modify the bracket under there I was hoping to fit it. I have a Yakima roof rack but the roof is a last resort. Don't really have the cash for the ARB Rear bumper with tire carrier right now.

Any Ideas are welcome.

Thanks for the idea but trying to keep it on the exterior of the vehicle

That should fit OK under there...

Within that thread, I also am interested in understanding if the AJIK kit raises the entire tire, very interested in learning from those who've purchased it. thx!!

I modified the factory location and raised it 4" and can stuff a worn out 315/75R16 under it. THe biggest benefit from modifying the factory location is that it raises the front of the spare above the differential.

I did mine 3" it went past level & up it cost $30.00
I have read of being able to get a 35 under there just as stated with a 315 just posted above.

Got the AJIK spare kit and it's awesome! no guess work, just bolt on with great hardware. Super solid!!!!! My spare is about 100lbs and change so won't trust anything but AJIK kit.

1/2" & 3/4" NPT nipples?

1/2" & 3/4" NPT nipples?

Both they didn't have enough of the 1/2".
It worked out well. Make shure your bolts are 1/2" longer than the nipples. Also get the stronger 8.8 bolts. 1.25 mm thread.

The AJIK kit is fantastic. No guesswork, and I believe it is Far Stronger than the home made pipe approach. That spare weighs a lot, and I don't want it bouncing around down there. I'm really happy with my AJIK kit, and I think it's a good value.
I don't work for AJIK or have a dog in the fight. I just think it's a good value and a good product.

I just installed the AJIK Kit and I wish I would have made a video. it worked out great it was very easy to install and the instruction manual was very detailed and illustrated. I added the larger spare tire and fit great and I even have added room for the hitch receiver.

Thank you again

I recommend this Kit to anyone looking to reposition the spare tire.

I used to have the AJik tire mount mod, it did raise the entire tire to be level...
