@dynaco1, Yes. The van was spec'd by an upfitter with the spare tire deleted and a whole bunch of other odd changes. Then the van was dealer traded in transit to the dealer I purchased it from. I wanted a low roof crew but they don't make that any more so I started with a low roof cargo that had all factory windows installed.
So the item that is missing is the towers welded to the cross member. I could just bolt right through the frame but I need to get down ~5 inches or so for oversized tires and its going to push forward every time i hit the brakes so it should be strong. |

Id just be welding up an external tire mount on the rear door, then you won't have any issue with oversized tire spare.
Plus you can fit a decent sized water tank under there, where the factory tire area is. |

You can also just buy a rear tire carrier from people that make them and save a lot of headache.

Today I had to go to RB components to pick up my interior door panels. they had a van in production that also had the spare tire delete on it. This is how they handle mounting oversized spare tires. Seems simple enough.
