    Nope, no spare. I do have a factory 28 inch spare and a tire plug kit. Also a AAA membership for what it's worth. I know it's not ideal to drive with 2 different size tires, but with an open differential it will work for a couple miles until you can get to a stopping point. Just have to make sure the smaller size spare goes on the rear axle. I don't think steering with 2 different size tires is a great idea.

    I mean your talking close to 1000 for a 33 inch spare cuz you have to buy the rear tire carrier to put it on. I know there are cheaper ways, but that is how I would go about it. I would have loved to buy a spare, but it just wasn't in the finances for now.

    I've had my KMII's for quite some time. Really kick butt tire. So kick butt, I'm not sure why folks are in love the MTR's. By the way. Do your steering last. Get the lift height you want. Then work on the front end geometry. Ditch the Curry setup idea. Way over priced. If anything. Get "1 tone" inverted T system for like 300. Call it done for a while. If you're keeping your Dana30. Maybe consider the WJ knuckle swap. You can do crossover steering from the knuckles & get bigger brakes.
