Moving spare tire, need advice.

[Team Topper]

Just received my new Steadyfast stabilizers. But in order to install it. I would need to move the spare tire on my Sierra 355QBQ 5er. It is located underneath the front between the front jacks. Wonder if anyone has done this mod and can give me an idea of what needs to b done. The dealer recommended I attach it to the back bumper. I would rather move it back a few feet from where it is. Thanks

I put mine underneath the bed. Pretty easy to get to if needed, but also out of the way.

I like the Lippert unit. The extra storage would be great for sewer hose. Thanks

I was able to leave my spare located to install mine. I didnt think it would work but it does .
Is this where your issue is ?

[Team Topper]

Yes, this is the area. Mine is mounted flat against the bottom (on the outside). Very close to the edge, directly between the jacks.

There are all kinds of mounts for under chassis mounting .

Could you extend whatever is holding it back enough to clear the stabilizer?

Mine was under front like yours. Reasons I moved it inside the front compartment (1) In locked compartment (2) clean (3) easy access (4)easier to keep tabs on pressure.

Thanks for the input. Luckily I've never had to change a tire on a rv,(knock on wood). My last trailer didn't even come with a spare. I do pay for roadside assistance. Not sure Its something I want to do on the side of a hwy. What are some tricks to actually changing a tire on a 40 foot fwheel?
