I had the same problem. Solution is to remove the spare and put it in the box.

A 305/70R16 won't fit up where the spare goes anyway. My 5" in MBRP Installer series.

i cut it off behind there right where it goes back to horizontal after going over axle and istalled a 7'' tip where i wanted it and it wouldn't rub...

I didn't have any suspension issues, just the spare.
