<div class="bbWrapper">I have a 2500 CCLB with a 35&quot; exo grappler spare in the factory location. installing it seemed tight but now that it is on, it certainly looks like there is room to just barely squeeze a 37&quot; up in there. I dont know if it is different for the short bed trucks though.</div>

I think it probably wont fit inflated due to the framerails, there is about 1&quot; clearance between the framerails with the 35, front to back a bit more room. Mine is a 21, so not sure if something changed but i don&#039;t think it did.</div>

Hoisting it up to the roof rack was a chore, and every time I was very afraid I&#039;d hit the topper either on the way up or down. </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote>Just came across this post.
