If you're using the riginal 6 lug pattern wheels, try to get one from a 4x4, it has a slightly larger plate on the cable that holds the spare. Mine came from a 1/2 ton 2wd, and we had to add a couple of "wings" to the plate to allow it hold my spare wheel. I used the holes from the original carrier to install it, lined up just fine with plenty of room between it and the axle with a 30x9.50x15 tire on it.
