I've seen some around here with tire on the roof. The real ? is how tall is your truck and how big is the tire? I'd hate to wrestle a 36 up on the roof of a lifted truck but a stocker wouldn't be that bad.

I'd vote no.

The 2nd Gens are already to top heavy in my opinion. Pretty sure that Sonoran Steel makes a kit that will allow you to tuck as big as a 35" spare under where the factory one was located.
