Although, I really love your build, My favorite is when you had the 34’s on the Pro wheels.
I was wondering if you had any issues with the 2.5/2” Cornfed spacers and did you really need to do a BMC?
Is the ride and performance significantly better with the aftermarket suspensions you have used?
Also, would a 285/75-17 fit in the spare tire well? TIA

Thanks man, I really liked the 34s also, but mainly from the side profile; they looked skinny from the front or the rear. I love my RRW wheels too.

No issues with the spacers (from Burtman, same as Cornfed)

I didn't HAVE to do the BMC, but with the Spidertrax and size of the tires, it would have for sure rubbed when flexing.

The ride is a little better with the new suspension, but I bet the ride would have been great If I used the spacer lift in the front and Dobinsons springs in the rear rather than the coil spacer in the rear. The rear is really what felt a little harsh with the spacer.

Thanks for your response. Good info. Only one other question, would a 34 fit in the spare tire well? Thanks again.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a few people with success, but it does hang down a little low.

That is surprising since my KO2 285 spare is pretty darn close to the hitch….

If you have onboard air then I bet you can shove nearly any size up up there (thats what she said) deflated and air it up when needed.

Great build. Ive had 285s on my build for a few years. King Suspension, have done a body out chop and have a front fender mod. I think I'm gonna grab some KM3 315s! The tires are darn heavy tho.....

Still driving well?


Keep the posts coming.

My 285/70-17 is pretty tight. I was thinking the same thing with inflation of the spare.

I have my ARB compressor and SponsoredByWifey inflation kit sitting in my garage ready to install. Once I have everything installed, I plan to attempt to fit a 315 in there or at least something larger than the stock one I currently have.

I thought that was a joke and it was approved by the wife. Lol. I looked it up. That’s pretty cool. I have a poor man’s arrangement with a cheap compressor and a 4 tire inflate/deflator from Speedflate. It works good though.

Had a little too much fun yesterday.....




And ripped off my front valance





But my Anytimebackupcamera front camera proved to be durable!



And I think my Agency6 rear recovery hitch saved my rear valance

I’ve seen people bend the exiting spare bracket over and fiddle around in the back to fit the 35 spare.

I will be trying this one day, but my worry is how low it'll hang. My current spare already rubs off road sometimes.
