Thanks. Yes doable, had to drop the spare down and twist/tilt the existing exhaust to get it out. Yes, use two stock bolts and rubber hanger. Took 30 mins. Haven’t been able to unload the exhaust pipe… might take it back to a shop to recycle.

It’s 39.5” front and 39.25” back. Didn’t get the chance to measure it before the cap went on, that’s probably sinking it the 0.25”. I chose the readylift (1” rear collar) over Westcott (0.75” rear collar) because I anticipated the cap reducing my ongoing rake.

Stock wheels and tires for sale. 17” TRD Off-Road wheels with stock BFG 265/70R17 tires. I didn’t clean/shine them for the photos but they’re in like-new condition, no damage of any kind and they were on the truck for fewer than 40 days. $1,000 OBO, or $250/set as full spares

It’s Yakima branded but I believe ARE sent it altogether as pictured. If you want to ask my installer, you can call DFW Camper Corral in Mesquite TX to confirm.

Update after driving two weeks — while it looks great, it rides a lot rougher. I will probably eventually do a full lift kit and ditch the collars. See below for photos and specs on my build. ReadyLift Spacer Kit - 2.5" / 1" Method 703, 17x8.5, +35, Matte Black Toyo Open Country AT3...
