This may sound stupid. But if I were to get rid of my rear tire carrier, is there any other place to mount the full size spare? Obviously I've seen people put it up on roof racks, but I don't have a roof rack and if I did it would be needed for surfboards. And then there's obviously putting it in the trunk, but then between the 35" tire and the dual 12" subwoofers I would have no cargo space. So I guess what I'm asking is if there is any way to get rid of the rear bumper tire carrier and squeeze the full size spare up under the truck without losing clearance or anything. Thanks, Josh.

Without losing clearance? Not that I know of.

Yes, I'd like to, but I am also looking for the tag mount that is on some of the eariler models. If I could find one, I'd let the tire carrier go for pretty cheap.

Where those with the tire carrier stored inside the vehicle put their tag.

The tire will fit in the hatch of a SUV and you can either put it flat so you can use the sdpace on top of it or get ahold of the internal spare tire holder (I have one that i bought on ebay and never used so if anyone wants it ill let it go for what I paid).

Have a custom mount made for the front receiver and use that to softly push your way through traffic! Or, as Ken said garage it and on-star / AAA. I do, however, rotate it through the other tires.
