[QUOTE="bigrig, post: 1560192, member: 11383"] There are a couple threads in here that talk about getting a 37 under the bed. I think it involves a couple things: - cutting some of the metal off the bumper mount to make room for the tire to be moved towards the rear more (provides clearance for the rear diff to have full travel up and back). - cutting the exhaust. - probably getting a new rear bumper. - I think it also helps if you have a less aggressive AT tire for fitment under the bed. You will find a lot of the folks who are doing extended runs will have two spares especially if banging on the truck and getting it airborne is on the agenda. That pretty much commits you to a chase rack of some sort. Forged offroad makes some nice ones...

But right now I keep a spare 37 in the bed on the chase rack and a 35 under the bed. That way I can still have backup, but when my backup needs backup, I can dial back the speed and not be so bold with my trail choices. Only thing to note about the approach of using a 35 as a spare is you would want to keep the pair of 37s on the rear and run in 2wd with the 35 on the front.
