Not really. The bar comes back up when you articulate/ hit a bump. I think ~32" is the rough maximum size that fits. I never even tried to fit mine.Can you fit a larger diameter spare with a lift?
My 32" doesn't fit with the 6500lb tow hitch, maybe without the hitch it might.Not really. The bar comes back up when you articulate/ hit a bump. I think ~32" is the rough maximum size that fits. I never even tried to fit mine.
Looks awesome. I just re-installed my tire to under the car position and the 265/65/18 Bridgestone HT tire was so tight to get in. I have the class 3 hitch, I’m guessing you have the same if you’re getting the spare in slightly upsized.I have Dobinson springs that are more mild at 1 inch lift up front and 1.5 inch lift in the rear. Have 265 65 18s BFGs. The spare is also the same and just fits with the hitch. Might be able to go to 32 in the spare area.

Thanks! Yes, I have the factory installed hitch. I believe the BFG KO2s are slightly undersized compared to other tires. The spare fit fine with maybe a quarter to half an inch of room to spare. You can also try to loosen the bolts on the hitch and see if you have any wiggle room. Sometimes you can gain an 8th of an inch or so from the diameter of the bolt holes in the hitch.Looks awesome.

I cupped these tires. Don't recommend. I ended up with LT285/70R17 Revo 3s33x10.5R17 D Load Range Goodyear MTRs on oem steel wheels. Pushed back liners, no rub because factory offset and narrow tire. It's phenomenal aired down. Eventually going 1.75"/1.5" with 5100s.
