I see "dimple mod" write-up potential in this picture.

I don't have Moab's either, but my spare 35" KM2 rests snug on the bumper. There's just a small amount of distance between the tire and the bump stops (I'm going to replace them) and the center brake light is still pretty visible.

I used the spacer from Expedition One for about 6 months when I had my 35's on my stock rims. It spaces the wheel out (which you need) and also lifts it up about 2". It's a little pricey, but works great. By the way, that is a 37" tire in the photo below
