Rotating in the spare.
Get some ProComp Extreme Alloy "SPLINE NUTS" and you won't have to worry about locking lugnuts

If I remember correctly the rotation pattern is in the manual. It is spare to R rear, R rear to R front, R front to L rear, L rear to L front and L front to spare. It is a standard 5 wheel rotation for a rear-drive 4x4 vehicle.
I keep the lock/key in the jack compartment. That way it doesn't rattle around in the console.

Was JUST about to post that very same picture. It's how I've been rotating my 35's.
I've been told that tires become directional after running them for a while and that a person shouldn't do this type of rotation because they'll wear faster. I cry bulls--t and rotate mine and they haven't worn any faster at all. PLUS it means I'll actually use up all 5 of my tires before buying new and bigger ones.
