thanks for the quick reply and answer. going to assume - there is no way to use the original spare carrier with this size of tire?
I haven't decided what I want to do with my rear - spend the cash for LCE stock leaf springs or do the Zuk coil. Thinking about new leaf springs when I order my LCE Header.

Originally I planned to put the ZUK in for a few months before I got new leafs but its been over a year with them now. I guess its now a long term band-aid.

Hey Everyone,
Its been a while since I put anything up on here. The aforementioned trip has come and gone with great success! Ended up being 2600 miles over 12 days. The 22re struggled over many up hills but didn't let us down. In total, not including many turn offs and side trips, we went from So-Cal to Overland Expo west in Flagstaff. Up to Grand Canyon North and camped off a trail about 20 yards from the rim! After that we went to Zion, Bristle cone Forest, Bishop, Mammoth, Grant Lake, then took Tioga pass to Yosemite and down through the bay area to visit some family before heading home with a coulple stops off the 101 in central CA. Slept in the back of the runner and camped in mostly primitive locations. Had our RV pump shower and toilet tent, Skottle grill, foldable camp kitchen, 2 bikes and misc camping stuff all hauled with us. We did pack inside the truck while driving and loaded up the roof rack while camping. Overall an amazing trip for the wife and I. Planned out some future trips with the kids to go back and explore some of the areas a little better.
Oh I also built dual swing outs onto the TG bumper using some steel stock and a tire carrier I cut up. As well as welded on TG sliders.

Some shots of the swing out process. 4xinnovations hinges, used some square steel and chopped up the old hitch carrier for parts. Pretty happy with the turn out.
