Default Stock Spare Carrier?
How big of tires have you all fit in your stock spare carrier? I've got 30's right now but i also have a toolbox bolted down in the hutch...and didn't have much room for my 235's...any ideas?

I found a rear mount one at the jy,or you can get an aftermarket carrier,I only carried the stock spare,and it was to big for me.

You could probably put a 31" on it without any problem. Might be a little dicey after that.

When he said "spare carrier" I was assuming external carrier. The internal spare mount is only good for a 30" tire.

The only place I think they put them was inside and the external swing out.
