Question 4" Exhasut and bigger than stock spare tire?
Washing the truck today, I noticed the stock exhaust sytem is really close to my 285/75/R16 spare tire. Anybody running a 4" MBRP and have a larger than stock spare? Do you have to leave the spare out or make some adjustments to the system to get it to fit?

Thanks,
~Rob

I've got a 4" exhaust with the factory 265 spare and I've got maybe an inch. Not much room at all. I guess when I put my old 35's on the spare I'll have to mount it in the bed.

I have 4" with 285 spare. It's VERY close I think I might have cocked the spare a little over , but it fits.

Those are encouraging replies, thanks guys. Maybe I'll just have to let some air out of the spare.

Can't do that, with the 4-wheeler in the bed, I gotta have somewhere left to strap the hogs to. (Guess there is always the roof).
