Fwiw, a sway away tire carrier is the stock carrier is good for upwards of a 37" spare. A sway away Jerry can/HiLift mount would be useful though...

Uh...Not really. The stock carrier barely fits a 33 depending on your rim backspacing, and the tire rubs the back door. Sure you can space it out, but then its no longer stock is it? Upwards of a 37? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

great guys, but with the bouncing around over time and the bigger tires im putting on it will "stress the bolts over time", its a little inconvinente but she sure looks mean!!! jerry cans and hi jack are on the sway away, the jerry can attachment is removeable.

Your that close to the back door? Fits my 35x12.5/15s on 15x10" rims w/ 4" backspacing. At the closest spot I have at least 1.5" of distance from my door. No mods done to the mount. What backspacing are you running Justice? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I've been carrying 33x9.50, and 32x11.50 on the rear door with no issues of any sort. Plenty of others have carried bigger as mentioned. Put your fabbing money towards something other than the spare carrier...

35x13.5 6 ply tire on my unmodified carrier with a 10" wheel with a 3.5" backspace, been there for 6 years with no signs of wearing out hinges or bolts. Having said that i am probably going to make a swing down carrier to make it easier on my back removing and mounting my spare.
