Spare tire

[Heucobob]

Can I use the stock spare tire if I get a flat ? I’m running 37s on a 6in lift .

I wouldn’t recommend it. You could do some serious damage with a tire size discrepancy like that, especially if it was on the rear.

That’s what I thought. Thanks

Not sure what it would mess up, you dont have a spool so its not going to break anything.
Plus its a spare so your not going to run it for tons of miles.
Alot of vehicles out there running spacer saver spares they are way smaller then the stock.

If you’d put it on the front and a 37 on the rear, if it was the rear that went flat, you’d be able to get yourself out of trouble without hurting anything. Just baby it and don’t go further than needed, it’ll work fine.

Not spares that are 5 inches different in size they’re not. Not if they’re not a fan of things going catastrophically wrong.

So whats all going to be totally ruined ?
unless he has a full on locker or a spool that wont allow one tire to spin faster than the other I dont see a real problem here.
Is it ideal, no getting a bigger spare would be better but no reason the stock spare wont get him to a tire store for repare or replacement.

Wonder if it would be enough of a difference to cause issues with the ABS, as the wheel speed sensors would be seeing a significant difference. ?

True, what if he's 100 miles from a good shop. The LSD could have issues with a 33 and a 37" on the other side. Possibly.
And if he hurt his rearend, it would be on his dime to repair.
Why I opted for a bigger spare in the bed.

I may just keep a small air compressor and a extension cord with a tire flat repair kit in the storage compartment just in case .
