Default TA Rear Diff Cover

Is anybody using the TA rear diff cover with the load bolts for the bearing caps? If so, will it clear the spare tire? I have 285's, and it looks kinda tight to me. The 1500's have an 8.5" 10 bolt right? Any info/input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

i got one with the stud kit , and havent installed it yet. the quality is nice though, and its pretty thick.

I actually got mine powder-coated black, so hopefully it will look nice once its all underneath.

That should look real nice. Does it look like it'll clear the spare tire, or do you think you'll have to relocate it?

Which one would fit on your truck, the 1807?

Yea, I guess you can see the diff better with the spare out of the way too. Is it the 1807?

I have that cover on my 01 C3 truck that is currently running 30 inch tall tires.
No issues with the spare hitting the cover.
