Default Spare tire bangs

Installed new wheels and tires and the spare bangs everytime I go over a bump cause it doesn't rest on rubber stops anymore. Any quick or easy ideas onhow to fix this?

You have to extend or replace the bumpers. Daystar makes some extentended bumps. I made my own with some pvc pipe and a rubber bumper...the kind you'd find in home depot hardware dept. What size tires?.

33" tire with Liquid metal Gatlins. Any ideas on how to extend the rubber bumpers? I'm going to purchase a new rear bumper in the next month or so but I was hoping for a temp fix. Didn't really want to put it in the back.

As stated above check out the Daystar extended units. They sell for about $20. I use them with 33s and have had zero issues. The best part is that you can cut them down to the exact size you need based on the backspacing of your wheels.
