I like those SUTs so much better with the rear tire delete! Nice!
Do you carry a spare at all?

Not at all, I'll throw the spare tire carrier back on only if I'm going for long trips, other than that the spare stays in the garage....

Too bad we can just throw them on the hood like the old Landies.

I was debating whether to get the Gobi's Tire carrier for the roof, but it will be a task to mount and unmount due to the size and weight I have to mess with...

At least with the SUT you can stand in the bed...that would make it easier then getting the tire on top of an SUV.

I could have swore that I saw someone on the forum with a slantback spare tire mount on their H2. I can't find the thread or a pic anywhere now. I recall the pic was of a black SUT with a lift and custom bumpers...I don't know, but it was similar to this:

That looks pretty sweet, the closest I can find and possibly modify are these. Just get a good welder and fabricate a carrier in between the post.

Truck looks good!!!

The company that does most of my work moddified one of the above pictured bed bar set-ups to carry a spare. The guy had it on for a couple of years, but ended up ditching it because it rendered the bed useless.

I disagree with most of the opinions here. I like the look of the rear tire carrier. Without it, the truck looks too short, almost like someone smooshed it.

[tyler1bo]

I see your point but I personally like the fact that I don't have to swing my spare carrier open everytime I want to drop the tailgate. Plus I think it makes the truck seem wider gotta love fat rear ends. Well..to some extent. But it's all personal preference!

I can finally be added to this list! To keep this thread going, here's my Rancho/Truxxx lift..

[Bimmer9938]

Looks awesome! Cut those bump stops off the front shocks, you'll never bottom them out.

[OrangeCrush]

Awwww, what a cute little truck...




Seriously, dude, that looks GREAT! What size tires? Makes me wanna put black wheels on mine.

Looks bad ass! Can't wait to do my lift! Pretty much same setup as you. Looks awesome. Very jelious right now.

[tyler1bo]

You will love it! I hope you ordered the RS9000's because they truly are amazing. 9 levels of adjustability, I can make it as stiff as a ferrari or soft as a pillow.

I think I might go with the Rancho 4'' and the same size wheel/tire combo. -42 offset right?

The keys were added with the lift, so I couldn't tell you how they fit with just the rancho. But I believe they'd do just fine, there's other members on here who have run just the 4" kit with 38's and had no issues. I've been very pleased with the kit thus far, however, if I were to do it again I'd go atleast 7". (But that's just me wanting more ) and the wheels are 20x10 in a -24 offset.
