Does anyone know if you change out to 35’s, can you also change the spare or will it not fit?

The spare is a 35. If you meant 37s, some folks have made them work, but it requires modifications to the bed.

i dont know what sort of bed changes people have had to make, but a 37" bfg k02 will fit in the stock spare location, it is just a really tight squeeze.

There are heat shields on the tailpipes from the factory that help dissipate the heat.

That being said, it fits a whole lot better if you chop the tailpipes and create a turn down immediately rearward of the muffler.

Bonus improvement is that you no longer drag tailpipe over every single ledge/rock.

Thats good to know. Few days ago I cut my pipes after the muffler and turn them down to make room for 37’s going on this week.

Like the look better with the add bumper too.
