Just out of curiosity, those of you here like me with a lift and oversized wheels and tires, what do you do about a spare?
Do you have one, do you have something like AAA, or do you hope for the best that you never have a flat?
I’ve been running a 7.5” lift and 37” tires for nearly a year now with no spare and nothing like AAA.
Just curious about what others are doing and if maybe I should consider some backup plan.

You can throw the stocker on the front axle and limp a short distance if necessary.
It sucks if you have a rear flat as you have to play musical tires not to have the spare going on the rear.
I have an old full-size unmounted tire that goes with me on road trips.
Onboard air and plug patch kit is my primary safety net, but yes, some are hoping for the best.

I only have a leveling kit on mine, but I run 35s.
I have the stock tire under the truck and hope I never have to use it, but it’s doable to get it to a tire repair center; it will look weird.

I have a plug kit in the toolbox, and my battery jumper box also has an air compressor.
I still have the stock 18” wheel spare with I don’t even remember the tire size.
Way different from the ’20s and 37’s though

Onboard air and plug kit + breaker bar and socket for the lug nuts, also have a tall hydraulic jack.
Spare is still under the truck.
RAM boxes are fantastic for this stuff.

I’m one of those “hope nothing happens” guys” with 37’s, LOL.

I have used “phone a friend.”
I would at least carry a plug kit and portable air.

Horn blaster train horn w\ duel 2.5 gal tanks with their spare tire delete mounting kit.
I plugged some air chucks into the end of the tank for onboard air.
Mainly bought for Prius and protesters.
Believe it puts out 140 or 160db.
I accidentally bumped my switch at 4 am;\ my neighbors were a bit irritated.

A damn good way to keep unruly types away from your truck.
