Thanks You guys, this worked for me, made with materials I had available. Yes Bob sliding the original crossmember forward will net you some more clearance, but not enough for what I needed. It was pretty straight forward. Sorry Porkchop I only finally got to this point last week and now I will be finishing the painting of my frame hopefully today or tomorrow.

Some credit should be given to Snuffy, I had a friend who thought I should use the drop down cable or chain from another truck to hoist up the spare. Snuffy you reconfirmed, that was a great idea. Also the idea about cutting the tire stops underneath the bed. I had thought about that, it is good to know that someone else was thinking the same thing I was. Gave me a some inspiration to make it a go.

Oh yes, thanks Brandon for giving me all the measurements I needed. I'll keep in touch.

What are the actual size of those tires?
I've got my 38/13R16 TSL Swamper up there, by just modding the tire mount a bit.
Hey, Pete, the height of the XLs is 38-1/2". Mine, slightly worn, are an honest 38-3/8".
Excellent job, Todd! Now I'm going to have to ponder doing the same thing. I was going to put a box or additional gas tank under there, but now I'm going to have to re-think that plan! Those XLs take up a ton or room in the bed, after all.

Why are you guy's worrying about a spare? Just call AAA.

Looks great!
Besides, "I need to do that so I can fit my XZL", my second thought was "Fuel tank" as in will the stock fuel tank still fit?

Fuel tank is forward of that location, it should be fine. ?
