I have been running with my stock spare tire, since I lifted my truck. A friend gave me a good used tire that matches my set. And to my dismay, it wouldnt fit under my tool box[&o]. So as a last resort, I decided to try and put in the stock location. No way right? wrong!!! cant belive it no problem. although I am going to add a strap or two to compensate for the extra weight... hope that this helps anybody that is running big meats!!
