I just did it 3 times in the dark and it was raining by the last go.... and then once today after I finished welding things. Its really not that bad. Especially if you leave the nut on and thread it through the plate. Anyways, I may change my mind once I am older but there is a mountain of...

Thankyou for the offer but for me I am good as is, I am just about to go and make the final adjustments and I am almost positive using my hilift as a lever I will be able to get the plate high enough to make it onto the threads enough to get the tightening nut started. I am not the biggest guy...

It is very doable, just not fun. If you were on level ground and dont mind getting on your back and dragging it around under there... then once it is "jawed" in the open support you could just rig up a lever/fulcrum under the outside of the support using your jack or whatever as the lever. I...

I am sure anything is possible but it went well enough with a floor jack under the outside of the support bar. I do not want to carry a floor jack with me so in the event of a flat getting it down is easier and the flat will then go in the truck so no need to lift it back in if I am not feeling...

No, the clamping pressure is from the frame through the rubber to the bottom plate. The tire carrier in the middle has two plates that help keep the rim centered on the bar. Here are some pics that show where things were added. Still need to tighten it up, tack weld and throw a lock on it but...

okay, so I got the spare today and went to see how it would fit, two things, it appears it will fit, to be clear I am running the cooper discoverer s/t maxx 255/85/16. The problems I ran into are these; the hanger studs are not long enough. Also the big receiver that the fire department put in...

ordering a spare this week, will fit it one way or another and get the answer pretty soon.

So the 255 85 16 is a 32.8" tire and from what I can tell it will fit as per my tape measure but I will update it when I try. It will be close but looks doable without modification. Definitely doable in the location, just maybe need to widen the hangars... Soon I will try.

Read through this thread and thought OH SHOOT! The full size spare 37" won't fit!? I did not buy a set of 5 when I got this size but I planned on it fitting without issue under there, I will see if I can get under there soon and test fit this size I have a set of coopers ... Something tells me...
