You find you have to unload most of it just to get to your spare. That is when I put mine on. It was July between Yuma and Tucson. No fun.

I stuck my hand up there; you're absolutely right, there's a rod I can barely touch bent in a horseshoe above the right marker light on mine. The bummer of this is that when I bought mine as a project I seriously never saw another 2wd Blazer around these parts, somebody in town just bought a "driver"(I don't know it's condition) 72 2wd Blazer that was advertised for not much more than I paid for a pooper!
This happened with a Olds Cutlass ragtop a few years back. I did a body-off resto on a '70, but by the time I was done there were 3 others surfaced meantime! Whadaya do.
