The coil overs actually come up through the area above the rear axle, which has a bridge from one shock tower to the other. We made a spare mount off of that.

Sorry to high jack but is your spare mounted in the back or just riding along. If mounted what mount did you use or fabricate.

rhino... if you have a 2 door and are concerned about looks a 37 is a perfect match in my opinion. A lot of rubber sitting underneath the 2 door, but not a ridiculous amount. 40s look nice but if you were deciding between 35s and 37s... I would say 37s. If you are then deciding between 37s and 40s, I would say 37s. Youll have to dump some cash into your axle but not nearly as much as you would for 40s.
