how do you drop the spare...its my first truck...

 

on my 05, there is a little lock thing by the license plate. you have to use your ignition key to unlock it and then it comes out. you them assemble your tire jack cranking assembly and insert it thru the hole in the bumper into the spare tire holder and crank it down.

 

+1 on this.

 

hm, im kinda lost on it but ill figure it out tomorrow iguess...lol i know hte key part but the crank it down part and the tool to do it is what im lost on

 

under your back seat(assuming you have a supercab) is your jack handle and extensions. just assemble them and stick the end through the hole and into the spare tire drop down assembly. then wind the tire down.the handle assembly can only go in one way and one spot. good luck. once you get it, you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.

 

ha sound good, ill take care of it in a few, its the only thing holding up me finishing this exhaust

 

it wouldnt drop, when i looked at it i figured it out pretty well, and i got tired of trying to crank it and get no where so i said f it and cut the line....i cant run a spare under the bed with the kit i just got so its not a major deal to me

 

it's too bad it wouldn't work for ya. but the line cutting is ok. my spare rides in the box also due to my aftermarket exhaust and the fact that if your tire blows while in the mud, getting it out will be messy.

 

ha never thought about the mud...but that is realy true...
