Mag-Hiteck Diff Cover Interference

Just Installed a Mag-Hiteck Cover on the rear diff. It looks like the cover will hit the spare tire bracket before the suspension bottoms out. Has anyone had experince with this and what did you do to fix it? I could remove the spare tire and bracket, but would like to keep the spare tire in the factory location.

Is your truck lowered? Seems to me it shouldn't be an issue otherwise.

Hinton? Do you have an older F150? I have the MH Diff Cover, and I don't know what you mean. My spare is secured by a center cable winch, no bracket.

Truck is a 2005 and besides the diff cover, superchips program, and K&N air filter is completely stock. I have attached the picture showing the problem. The stock diff cover would barely clear. The Mag hi-teck cover looks like it will hit the spare tire brack by about 3" before the suspension would bottom out on the axle stops. Any thoughts on how best to fix

okay, I can't seem to get a picture to upload to this site. The FAQ's are no help. There is no "Manage Attachements" icon on my screen

Download the image to an image hosting site. I use photobucket.

Copy the image url and paste it here with the symbol or use the image url link with the [IMG][/IMG] tags from the image hosting site.
