08 SUV SpareTire Relocation Options

[blackhawk29]

a word of warning before taking it off: i took it off my 08' then noticed that the back of the truck rose up about 2" and the front nosed down. The ride was noticably worse. and the handeling was wierd. The tire and rack weighs close to 290 pounds. I weighed it. The suspension is set up to accomodate that weight and overhang on the back of the truck. I was going to crank up the t bars to raise the front, but just decided not to mess with it and leave it alone. I put it back on within a day.
