When you get back to cussin, I mean looking at the spare tire thing, make sure you didn't lower it down too far. The cable needs to have some tension on it when you wind it back up so it doesn't ball up and cause a bind. Maybe try lowering the cable back out with someone pulling on it to take the slack out. Then apply a little tension on it as you wind it all back up.
Good idea! I have also heard there is quite a bit of wiggle room for the tire. Have that same assistant line it up where it needs to live.

It's winched up in there tight now, all the way against the little stop on the pass. side and the driver's side tailpipe is mashed between it and the shock (and not in the right position either).

Currently enjoying said cold one and much happier than before Rather than stacks, I think I'll just return it to a straight pipe

EDIT- forgot to add- yes I'm installing duals- Diamond Eye 4" turbo back aluminized.
