    Fisherman - Don't forget about the fame mod you had to make as well. The NDTs will fit great, but anything bigger than a 36" tire will require the round frame cross-member to be moved.

    You had a post with pics a while back... maybe archived.

    The frame mod is pretty simple, some guys have moved the factory crossmember forward. I'm not sure that is enough room for an xl. I used 2" by 3" stock and bracing in the corners to make plenty of room. An xl will fit for sure.

    i,ve got spare tire racks fabed up for installing the 11x16 michelins and hummer tires under the bed. i havent got any for sale yet as production is now underway. with my design it lowers and raises from the passenger side of the truck behind the tire and has a removeable extension arm for increased leverage and bar will double as extensin for more leverage on stubborn lug nuts, lifting tire for removal & install.

    You should advertise those in the for sale column Bob. You will need to move the crossmember to mount an xl spare tire as they will not fit a stock truck in the spare tire location.
