According to the tape measure, on the truck they are just over 37" between the outer tread blocks. This is at 33psi.
Spare fits ... in the truck bed :) i tried to get it under the bed, but it hits on the hitch and sway bar/ rear track bar. I'm wondering if the Rock Krawler Pro-X triangulated 4 link would solve that problem - and deflating the tire.

Do you know the exact tire size on the 38's? Are they more like 37's? Does the spare fit?

Did you ever try airing spare down or come up with solution?

Yeah, I tried airing it down but there was no way it was going to fit unless it was absolutely flat.
Since I rotate my tires every 2-3k miles I just leave the spare in my garage. When get my RLD canopy ill mount the tire inside for trips. Also considering getting a swing away bumper, but we'll see.
I might try it again when I get the Rock Krawler pro X rear kit.

We're also in San Jose - the West Evergreen area. Looking for some dirt roads to try out the 4WD stuff, without damaging the truck!
