35s

[SeaSickSailor]

For the folks that actually do serious off-road trips, how many spare tires do you take with you? Also, I tried mostly deflating a 35” BFG K02 but it still won’t fit my spare space on my ‘14 1500. Not sure it’s going to fit the new ‘19 PW. Where do y’all keep your spares???

One full size spare and when I get new tires soon I’m going 2 spares. I have one under my truck...no exhaust and no heat shield. Currently 35’s. Once I get I’ll keep on under the truck. And throw the other in when I go out.

Are you saying that you removed the heat shield and rerouted your exhaust somehow?

Yeah my heat shield is sitting on the side of my house. My exhaust dumps out right after the muffler. And it’s tight fit between the hitch and track bar but it fits

I know that the feeling of being invincible you'll ignore this post, but maybe I can persuade other readers. With an exhaust dumping out right after the muffler the investment into a 12V carbon monoxide detector for the cab may convince them otherwise. This colorless, tasteless, and orderless gas kills fast. Been there, done that with the exhaust systems on muscle cars, except I got really, really sick versus being dead.

Great point. Also, I have viewed pics where the wiring harness in the rear bumper was melted away due to cutting the resonator off and leaving the pipe where it is.

Its good to make sure the exhaust (carbon monoxide AND the heat) is getting exited from underneath the vehicle.

Mine is dumped after the muffler and it’s non factory muffler. So it dumps past the cab and I have a turn down. Yes. DO NOT IDLE lol. Mines always moving truck is high and there’s plenty of air flow so I really doesn’t worry. I’ve dumped every truck I had except my 1500 that had rear duals. I would really worry if it was 2wd or lowered that the gas would build up. But with the height it’s no issue. That said I still don’t idle much at all. Always been a habit

Nope. That does nothing for added clearance.

On stock wheels, nothing. It will just rub on the radius arms and sway bar, but cause no harm. Could get ever so slight touching at the lower point of the plastic wheel liner, but possibly not.

I'm running 37's on my factory wheels with no rubbing,but I do have a 4" lift on mine. I'll be going back to 35" tires after I wear these out,the truck really needs 5.13 gears to run 37's. The 4.56 gears are just too high of a gear for the transmission gearing,the truck constantly changes gears at highway speeds.
If I didn't have to swap out the rear diff in order to put in 5.13 gears,I'd swap out the gears,but it's not worth the trouble and expense to swap rear ends and then have to buy a new locker/gears.

The truck performed excellent when I was running 35" tires,so I'll just go back to 35's and be happy.
