Default Spare tire?

Does any one know if a 285/65/20 full spare will fit under the truck with factory dual exhaust? I havent put the bigger rubber on yet, but next week when i do, I have 3.92's with posi and if I ever got a rear flat I would have problems putting the temp spare on the back. I would have to put a front tire on the rear, and the temp on the front, what a pain!!! I was thinking buy a cheap used tire for it. Just wondered if anyone would have any experience with this?

I'm not sure the answer to this, but if you got under there and measured you'd find out. 285/65R20 is like 34.5" tall so if you measure the space between the pipes you'll know.

Yea, I was going to measure when I had it in the air for the level install, but even if it fits tightly, I am worried about burning the tire on the pipes. Oh well, I'll just have to play it by ear. Thanks for the input though!

I have no idea, but if you need a full sized spare wheel, I'm selling the factory 20" which is a chrome clad for CHEAP. PM me if you're interested.
