guys with lifts?
What do you guys with lifts and big tires do for spares? I was driving out in the middle of no where yesterday and got to thinking. If I get a flat, I'm screwed!lol. I doubt the jack that came with my truck will lift it off the ground with my lift and tires and if it does, the spare is 3" shorter than the tires I'm running. Any suggestions guys? I'll probably just order another procomp 33" tire but what do I do for a jack?
Thanks

the stock jack might be able to lift it i dono i've never seen how high the stock jack can go... if you dont think it'll work buy a new one and put it somewhere in the truck

if you are only running 33" tires you should be fine if you have a fullsize 31" spare as long as you put it on the front, as far as a jack if you dont have to much of a lift it should work or you could by a jack that goes up further than the stocker, i use a large scisor jack made for the H1 hummers to lift my truck and i have a 37" spare, good luck

the stock jack will definitely work with your application...i dont have my stock jack anymore becasue of my audio setuo, so i got a 3 ton floor jack i keep in the bed...as far as the spare goes...maybe bight the bullet and order a fifth tire/wheel...OR drop the spare and check ebay or sumthing for original FX4 wheels/ tires, and get one of those as a spare (those are 32's)...just some thoughts...but as far as a jack goes, your fine...all it needs to reach is the rear axle and the front a-arms!

You can throw a smaller tire on and limp home as long as you dont have limited slip. If you do and you blow out a rear then you need to take a front tire and put it on the rear, then take the spare and put it on the front. Sounds like fun huh?...
