Largest spare tire?
What is the biggest spare tire that will fit on the original location? Mine is the original one and has some cracks so I am going to get a new one. I run 35's so would like a larger spare .
Anyone know how big will fit?

I also run a 35 under my truck, been there for years. Just had it down to check it out before a 6000 mile trip. All is good and it is still right where I put it before leaving .
P.S. I recently switched to a Ford 2.5" receiver hitch on the truck and that actually increased the room around the tire, I bet I could darn near squeeze a 37 in there now.

Justin,
My original hitch was the type where the stinger receiver was mounted below the cross bar. The newer model (sorry I don't remember the exact year the guy said it was, Craigslist find. I just knew the frames where the same and I knew it would bolt up ) has the receiver tube inline with cross tube. This lowers the cross tube so it is more visible but by doing that also covers more of the tire, so it is not as visible from the rear. This design also has a higher tow weight rating. I could do a picture if needed.
I looked up you places location , I just drove past you 2 weeks ago on 85 headed back from Ohio.
