Well, if your like me, have no tools for the spare tire thing, nothing to get it down. Il shed some light... Tonight i was wheelin with one of my friends and i must've ran over something sharp... I go outside and heer pssssssssssssssssssssssssh. great... no spare tire tools, its snowing finally, its cold.. and my truck has some type of affair with rust.. So i rush it home in time, and start thinking of ways to get that dumb chain thing to move.

So i tried a crowbar... no luck. I was going to unbolt the whole entire thing... no luck. So finally i bust out the sawzall. Man, this thing is my new friend. So, your under your truck, get a ratchet strap, go across from both leafs under the spare tire. Then cut the chain holding onto the tire. Bam, there you have it. Your spare tire down finally.

funny thing is, my new tires and rims come next week and i get a flat now♠

 

You know, there was a thread that got bumped about a month or two ago about its the time to lube you tire holder assembly...but more power to you i guess

 

better to have a flat on these than on the new ones!

 

None the less, i didnt have the tool to get it down. And i guess removing it makes for more ground clearance


haha yea good thing i didnt,we went back out again and this time just stuck to drifting around in the snow lol
