My truck came without the spare or jack. I know a lot of guys take the jack storage out for subs and spare tires out for exhaust, hitches, and other reasons. Thanks for your time!

 

I removed my jack &bracket, spare tire and crank assemble that holds it from my Indy in 98. (wt reduction) Picked up a few bolts, nails over the years with the wide tires on it but never had one go right down. Always able to get home or to a garage to patch it.

My 4x4 I keep the spare in the bed cause the crank assemble siezed up 2yrs ago when I went to swap it. Jack is still under the seat though I would never use it.(bottle/wobble jack)I would limp it home if close and use my 3.5ton jack or just go to a gas station or Walmart if I had to for a plug.

One time I got a flat was on the way home from the track. Coming down the escarpment it was under construction and one of my trailer tires went down fast. Pulled into a Walmart 1mile after noticing and used one of their shop jacks to lift it and remove it. They patched it and I reinstalled it. Had 3 cars on their hoists but allthe mechanics and customers were all out in the parking lot watching/gawking. (Indy looks good on its matching trailer) Had me out in 30min flat!

 

I just have no desire to be without my spare, it's never been on the ground and I hope to keep it that way.

 

never used the spare (dont even know if there is air in it anymore lol) but the jack may as well come out as its useless (way too short) ive got a jackall in the dry box if i ever needed it

 

I got the spare 245/70 or 75/16 in my garage collecting dust , i got 285/75/16's on now, and a 265/75/16 around here somewhere for the sparelol [sm=icon_quiet.gif]
You think i need a bigger jack? cause my truck sits a lil higher? (stock suspension)... plus i need a new tire iron cause my aftermarket rims have smaller holes...anyone know where i could pick one up?

 

nither.. carrier crank broke.. and i dont have a 5th 35" tall tire anyway...wouldnt work to well with 3 35's and one stock 30...

stock jack is in the bed tool box used as a removable seperater to keep things in their place in the alum. "catch-all" storage center

 

mounted my spare LHS right between the wheel well and tailgate.
jack is in the toolbox.

i moved it as the tire would rub against the exhaust tubes underneath which in turn would ruin a perfectly good spare.

 

Still have a spare, but not the factory spare. Do still have the jack but is sitting in the garage. Doesn't work with my 3" lift so I carry a small floor jack in the tool box.

 

I've got the factory spare, jack, and "tool kit".

 

Wanna hear bad luck, went and bought new wheels on a Friday night, scheduled to get new tires somewhere else on Saturday to put on the truck. After picking up the wheels on Friday night, damn rear tire went flat about 3 miles from home.

Factory jack sucks, used it once and then bought a 6-ton bottle jack.
