I think the stock exhaust just ran down the left side and cleared the spare by a few inches but the pipe was pretty small too. 1-3/4 I think.

Oldcouple is right in that they are a bear to lift up in place by hand. I think most guys raised it back up with the jack and then fastened it down. That loop not only works for a padlock but you can put the lug wrench handle in it and turn it to loosen or tighten it.
