So it looks like you were able to fit that in under the stock fuel tank. But it also looks like the tires ends up being maybe 2 or 3 inches lower than stock. Is that right?

 

Since the original spare tire carrier was already gone when I got the truck, I don't know how much clearance there was to begin with. That last pic is kind of deceiving because the tire looks like it is sitting low, but there actually is quite a bit of clearance....

 

yes the thickness of the angle iron is the only difference
