Suburban spare tire mount

Where is the spare tire mount in a Suburban? If you ordered one with all the seats there doesn't seem to be anyplace for one. Not much room between the gas tank and the rear bumper to mount it underneath. Especially if you have 17.5 wheels.

Re: Suburban spare tire mount

My understanding is they all went under the floor between the bumper and gas tank. That is why the stock tank has a round indention to allow the tire to clear. They were designed for the stock tire size so other sizes might not fit.

Re: Suburban spare tire mount

one idea is to use another middle seat (the floor has holes for both) instead of the longer back seat. this gives you enough room to mount tire inside using a pickup bed style mount.
