Guys...quick note. I was changing out my rear brakes last weekend and I fortunatley discovered that the stock Lug Wrench doesn't reach into the dish far enough.
So go get yourselves an extra Lug Wrench before you get screwed and really need one.
Later,

I don't think my spare will help much anyway... I think I'm up a creek if I get a flat! Although, I do have a lug wrench from my old Jeep that works well. Wonder if a 33" fits under the truck??

A 33" wheel will not fit under our Daks due to the rear crossmember under the bed without some modification to the crossmember or spare lift system. If you look underneath, there is at most 1" between stock tire and rear most crossmember. You could possibly shove the tire forward while raising it but you'll probably get some clunking since it is not tight against the bottom of bed.
If you really need a 33" spare that is securely attached to your Dak, drill some holes in your bed and mount an in-bed spare tire carrier with security lock like Pro-Comp makes. They have ones that fit under a tonneau cover if needed, outta sight and less chance of a thief trying to steal your $200-300 tire/wheel.
If I did more offroading and worried about a flat away from the highway or AAA, I would mount a 33 inch Xterrain on stock wheel under my tonneau for peace of mind.

I figured a 33 wouldn't fit. ): I actually thought about mounting a spare in the bed (or at least when off highway) as you said 2THEXTRM. I guess thats what I'll end up doing!
