Ok, looking for some help here,


Just picked my truck up from the bodyshop today after having my Sir Michaels rollpan installed- LOOKS AWESOME! Im very pleased with it- other then the scratches they put in the bed of my truck when they threw my stock bumper in- YES, IM PISSED.


Anyway, now Im looking at this thing wondering how the heck the hidden hitch is gunna fit- I didnt buy it yet but was planning on it. The problem I see is that theres only about 2-3 inches between my spare tire and the rollpan. Will this thing fit if I buy it? Or am i gunna have trouble with the tire being in the way? I have a 4x4 w/ the Tire and Handling package- so I have the bigger tires. Does anyone have pictures, or could take pictures, of what it will look like or at least give me some peace of mind that it will work!


ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANKS ALL!


Rich

Stock won't fit. I'm in the process of getting mine installed right now. Sir Michaels will tell you you have to go to a smaller spare tire. They won't say how small, but I'm looking at it and it looks like a 25-26" tire at best.

Mark,

Thanks for the help thats kinda what I thought. Where'd you get the seat covers? They look nice- and are they actually the same colors as the stock interior? Do you have or do they make the ones for the back seat as well? I too have a quad cab

pull the spare out, throw a bedcover in your bed, place spare in your bed. ;) Fabtech makes spare tire holders for bed placement.

Hey BlackDakRacer,

Funny you should suggest that cause I was thinking about that while I was trying to fall asleep last night. I already ordered a Leer topper (the one in the Dodge catalog) and I'll have the theft protection. Got a question though.........do you have any idea what the prices are for Fabtech's tire holders? I see on their website they have 2 styles but it isnt a very informative site- no pricing. :(

Fabtech doesn't sell direct. Have to go through resellers.

Those are Wet Okole Seat covers and I love them. The inserts are light gray and close to the gray interior color.
