Should have pics of the spare location later today with measurements for anyone looking.

Spare tire location Front to back clearance is 37 1/2

The difference in the 37 chassis might be at the side by side contact point in center of this screenshot (from a 37 review video by
Keep It Dirty Off-Road)

FYI here's the weight of stock wheels w/ 35 vs 37.

w/ 35' = 103.1 lbs
w/ 37's = 101.6 lbs.

Scale might be off but the difference might be useful.

Wasn't expecting drop in weight but the 315/70/17's are wider so maybe explains it.

Good info. I think the only
”frame” difference is the rear is the bracket that holds the spare. I think the 37” bracket is slightly more to the rear. Slightly as in maybe a half inch.

That sounds about right. When I raised it I scootched it back about 1/2 inch to center it. It wanted to touch the link in front naturally just raising it from the ground.

I was expecting something to block it. Especially when they said you do not get the full size 37 spare if you go 35 from factory.
