Spare Tire storage.

[87LB]

So now I have the 33" tires on I am looking for a way to store the spare. I still need to get a 33" on the spare rim, But thought I would as on how those with larger tires are carrying / holding a spare.

I Am thinking of some sort of bed mount. But if I do that I want to get that in before the bed liner goes in..

Any pics?

I run 35's and carry a standard size spare. With an open diff in the rear and manual hubs up front the difference in tire diameter doesn't matter.

If you do have some sort of locker and need to have the tire the same diameter there are still a few options. (I'm assuming you are runninga 33x12.50 R15)

To take up less space find a 255/85 R16. Same 33" height, but very skinny. It will take up less room mounted on a wall of the bed, or tucked up under the truck.

Or could get a 33x10.50 R15 which is a little less wide...

Thanks, But I am looking to see how others have stored their spare tire. Ya the tires are 33x1250x15 and the spare will be the same size.

My truck does not have a way to carry the spare under the bed ( someone must have removed it ) so I need to build something. I think a 33" may fit under the bed. But I also think mounting it in the bed may be better. Seeing that I have a long bed the spare would not take up much room..

I used to have the In Bed Tire Carrier but after getting the soft top I just have it lying down in the bed.
