Okay, I was reading on gibson's website and it said that some of their exhuasts may require you to lose the spair tire. Is this true for the dual rear exit exhaust? Im looking to put one on my girlfriends ram.

 

It's much easier to wiggle the tailpipe off and install the new one with the spare tire out of the way. However, I have done the change by just dropping the spare a few inches and moving it to the side. Since it's not hard to drop the spare to the street and shove it over, why not. Taking it off the winch and getting completely out of the way is even better. Only, make sure you've eaten your Wheaties. The spare weighs well over 50 lbs...

Roger...

 

i figured i would have to take it off to put the exhaust on, but some kits mean you have to lose the tire all together.. as in no more spair under the truck

 

Hopefully this picture will settle your mind regarding keeping the spare... The exhaust is a Gibson Dual Extreme (exit out each side) and the truck is a power wagon with a 33" spare slung under the truck. I'll bet that Gibson use the same pipes with the exception of the exit pipes.. i.e. your straight pipes that exit the rear are hooked up where my bends are. I have plenty of clearnance from the spare...

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Mark

 

Thanks man, you're awesome. i really didnt want to have to lose my spair since it would suck up here without one. btw, i love your truck, and your M3... im jealous

 

I have the same exhaust on power wagon and i love it. I did it myself. Hey Brit, where did u get that light bar. That looks great. I live in PA, so i can use more light.

 

Well you could just get one of them tire gate for your truck, they look way cool and you would never have to worry bout any clearence issuse...not that there are any.

but yeah thats a snazy lookin Power Wagon you got there Brit.
