So I can fit the 33" KO2 underneath, but it definitely drags the back end down. Thinking of mounting it in the bed as far forward as I can get it. Anyone got any suggestions or recommendations on how?

I made a setup that mounted it at an angle towards the front of the bed and it looked neat but took all the bed space so I ditched it. I personally would just put it up where the spare is. What do you mean by drags the back end down? Tops that bigger tire weighs 20 pounds more than stock. That won’t drag it down at all

I watched the back end come down when I cranked it up. I'll see what happens once I get the other 4 on. Might be fine. I need every inch I can get out on the trails.

What kind of strap are you using, and did you install new mounts to hook it too?
It's made by a company called Pro Armor, and I got it on Amazon. It was $50 bucks and works great. And I drilled holes to add three anchor points in my truck bed.

Is it the 4 point harness?

Really? I do some pretty gnarly off-roading and I find there’s plenty of clearance in the back. And I have a camper shell, generator, air compressor, welder and camping gear in the back. If I leave my tow hitch on that will touch a little bit
