Bill, thanks for the link.

I have been thinking about many different way to lower the spare. But wanted to keep with the original concept. When I replaced the original spare. The rack looks like it may have destroyed the spare with all the force and 10 years of hanging on the rack.

I'm also planning to go to 15" in the future. So as a temp fix, I can see making the mod. Maybe using some spacers until I go to 15"
