Hello everybody, so I had a thought cross through my head recently. For those with lift kits and bigger tires, have you ever had a flat? If so, does the stock jack work with the new height of your vehicle? It’s raining today here in Jersey so I can’t see if the stock jack will lift the vehicle high enough to change the tire so I figured I’d see if you guys ever ran into this situation. Thanks!

I haven't tried but I also got a bottle jack as it often works better if you are on dirt or other situations like being stuck.

I bought a bottle jack for this situation, although I continue to carry the oem jack.

You are only lifted a few inches.... just carry a small piece of 2x6, maybe 2... jack problem solved.

I am interested in if you can get a bigger spare and if it fits the same storage compartment. I am guessing you can not run different size tires on an AWD.

The storage compartment won't fit a full size spare of any size, let alone an increased A/T tire. I have a full size A/T spare for off-roading trips, and bought a hitch mount for that.

What do you use the rest of the time, if your flat is in daily traffic? Can you get a larger doughnut and will it fit in the in the normal spot? or is it ok to run the smaller?

I have been driving around with the donut in the spare compartment. Check out this thread, very similar discussion:

AfterMarket wheel fit in the spare well?

Hi, I'm thinking if grap a set of KMC bully and KO2 tires. And maybe get an extra wheel and tire replace the spare. I check the diameter is fit, but I don't know if the spare tire well are deep enough for a full size tire and wheel. Had Anyone have experience with this? Thank you
