So I just noticed I didn't have a spare tire tool kit to drop the spare. Question, does anyone have one and how much to ship it to spring tx? The ones on eBay look good but I don't see the 90 degree lug wrench

 

This is the eBay kit

 

Should be able to find plenty at a local junk yard.

 

Good luck with that. When I inquired the guy said most of them end up at the side of the road after a hurried tire change.... I had to get a kit off Amazon. This one: Does work with my 2001 for lowering the spare and cranking up the jack which is what I needed it for. I use a 4-way tire iron for the lug nuts.

 

I have the set from my 00 2500, still in the factory bag. Don't need them, my spare won't fit under the bed (20" wheels) and I went with aftermarket 3/4" lug nuts. If you are interested, PM me and I will get you a pic and price.

 

I believe I have original tool set on my truck, and that does not contain 90 degree wrench either. Instead there is a ratchet that slides over the lug nut wrench. And which is also used to lower/lift the spare tire and the jack.

Yes, all original w/instructions. That ratchet also has extendable lever.

 

Here is the pic of the kit out of my 00 2500. There is a sticker on the bag that says 2500. Not sure what wouldn't be compatible with the 1500, maybe its just more heavy duty? Red arrow shows the part that fits over the rod so you can turn the spare tire.

 

that will work on the 96?

 

I checked on ebay, the one from mine is for 99-2002 3/4 ton. Yours would look pretty different.... I'll check around at the junk yard next time I'm in there.

 

That's what the kit looks like that came with my '96 Ram 2500 4x4..
