35" spare be ok in emergency?

[DEGBTI]

I am running ko2 37"s. I know people say a 37 ko2 will fit in the spare tire compartment, but it wont on mine. Hits the diff. Anyway, in an emergency can you run a 35" on the front in 2 wheel drive?

IMO, you'd be better off getting the 37 and mounting it in the bed with a "Y" strap.

Yes, you can. Turn off stability control.

Yes, you can. Turn off stability control.

thanks, where is the "stability control" located? Is it always on as a default?

I would like to but dont have room. Bed has a bunch of other stuff mounted and I have it all under a cover to hide it all.

I actually had the same question about this. I've owned AWD vehicles before where if the tires were off by more than 3/16", you could grenade the driveline...

That damages the center diff. This isn’t one of those. 2wd doesn’t care about tire sizes. Ever.

i have yet to pull the trigger on buying a spare 39" so i just pack two 37s... if i get a flat ill just change 2 tires, sure its more work, but i already own the 37s...

unless the axle is locked then it might be upset but youd be stupid to leave the locker on in that case

Wasn’t that established as impossible in 2wd on a gen 2?
