With the 315's will it fit underneath?

2MuchFun 03-21-2004, 09:05 AM I thought about this and from what I can tell, it will definately hit the exhaust and possibly the pumpkin and maybe the back of the hitch. So I say, no can do. nassdmax 03-21-2004, 09:13 AM Bummer, So where does everyone with "right sized" tires put their spares? I wouldn't leave home without one, and think it's impractical to take up bed space. killerbee 03-21-2004, 09:22 AM 2much, what is your conclusion based on. Has anybody with the 315's tried this? I have heard that 285's fit. Michael ski1 03-21-2004, 06:35 PM other factors inclide OEM or aftermarket exhaust ? I wonder if a bracket or spacer of sorts mounted between the exhaust and the spare would keep it off the exhaust. killerbee 03-24-2004, 07:32 AM I looked at the stock settup yesterday, on a 6.0. I think it would fit on that truck. Looks like 2.5 inches extra avaiable, closest to differential and exhaust. Michael nassdmax 03-24-2004, 08:50 AM So who's going to be the first to do it!! side note.....I think it can be done based on a security story I heard last year... Some guys were stealing H2 rims and wheels through security by hoisting them up in place of their spare tire. Quite a few people got thrown out of GM on their heads with no benefits...... killerbee 05-21-2004, 06:28 PM I did it and it does fit barely, snugs up against the hitch wiring, stem down, no problem, so go ahead and buy 5 T.O.'.s happy camper! Burner 05-21-2004, 09:19 PM I think you can pull the tire to the side as it tightens against the frame... I think. I thought I had done that before with my H2 spare... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Disapprove.gif Might give it a try. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_2_17.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001) Burner---------------> http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif http://www.smileycentral.com/sigpc=ZSzeb047 (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb047) killerbee 05-22-2004, 10:34 AM I took a look at it today, and noticed that it rubs against the diff cover, not good. Is that Mag-tech cover deeper or shallower? VFRRider 05-22-2004, 10:18 PM Deeper, it won't fit with the Mag-Hytec. killerbee 05-23-2004, 05:33 PM I moved the H2 spare a bit, flush against the hitch (rerouted the harness) and it fits great with 1/2" clearance from the diff.
