It can be done, but if you put anything bigger than a stock tire on it, you are going to start causing body damage & it will twist the tire carrier. See, the problem, even with the original tire carriers, is that they mounted to the corner pillar & that is a complete seperate body panel from the fender. Although they are welded to each other, what happens is that it starts to twist the body panel away from the support post on the inside of the bed & away from the original position. So, if you are looking for something to hold a 31", 33" or bigger tire, make your own tire carrier & hang it off of the frame.
