Picked up a cheap DV8 spare tire carrier. Will utilize for now. Only real pain in the a** was tailgate vents have to be trimmed to allow install or delete them which I did not want to do (Dremel to worked like a charm)
(Not mine however example of what needed to be trimmed)

Thanks. They are definitely big. We will see how it handles them. I can honestly say up to 70mph I believe it handles/rides better then 33 BFGs. However only put few miles on today :). Running about 34PSI at the moment.

Retired from Corrections....I have stories.
I installed the Sherman's cap. It is an aluminum dust cover for the on board air outlet on the front bumper. I should have been an easy install, but the threads on and the air connector was not long enough, then I had to run all over town trying to find a way to extend the treads to go through the cap and the thicker steel bumper. The ARB connector was just a no go. To bad it is nice, and I have two of them. I ended up using one that I had at the house, some flat washers, a small piece of brass pipe, and brass elbow, then another connector to a 90 degree connector to the air line It looks clean and is well hidden. The cap just clears the bumper bull bar.

Note this should have taken about 10 minutes, but turned into a half a day process, but at least it is done.

No mud or dust in the air outlet anymore.

Installed S-Tech 8 switch bank this past weekend and ran the wires through the driver's side. I like the OEM look.
Where did you get those switches? That looks good and clean. I like the look!
