Question Sport Trac Ground effects

I am putting ground effects on my 2001 Sport Trac and the spare tire seems to be in the way in the back. Have any of you guys done this? Where did you put the back light?

I would like to see pics also...

I am guessing you are putting a rollpan on the back instead of a bumper style kit?!?!? Do you have a larger spare tire than what was originally on it? I don't think you can go any farther forward because of the axle. How much room are you needing for clearance?

If the problems you are having is the frame and the spare wheel...the escalade ext or whatever it was when they put the roll pan on the frame had to be cut to fit a roll pan...a lot of work...

Neons... OK...

Are you not able to mount the light above the spare tire and against the corner behind the bumper and where the tailgate comes down?

It won't fit, the spare is in the way. If it stops raining I will take a picture and post it. I am sure that will help.
