After a long fall of hunting deep in the wilderness and watching my buddy blow a sidewall on 2 separate occasions (Duratracs); I've really started to think about carrying a spare. I have done some searching and it seems everyone agrees that a plug kit and compressor is the way to go. But that is obviously not going to fix a full sidewall blowout. Where we hunt there is no service and its an hour drive in on dirt roads riddled with sharp granite rocks, one of the reasons I went with the 3-ply KO2s. This brings up a few questions that I hope some of the more experience Ram owners can shed some light on...
First, will a 35" tire fit in the spare well? I am guessing no, but there are some pretty creative ******** on this forum. I know I would have to modify the carrier saddle that attaches to the cable to fit my wheel.
Second, can anyone recommend a vertical spare tire carrier bracket for the bed that would fit a 35" tire? I dont want a bracket that fits in the middle of the bed and takes up the entire bed of the truck.
I would only really need it in the fall, so a hitchgate is out of the question. But something like this would be perfect:
