Is the spare tire going to stay in that position?

Kind of defeats the purpose of having the rear axle pushed so far back :/

Not really, it's a 45 degree departure angle and is less overhang then any jk with a rear tire carrier.

For function, i have to agree with you it kind of mess up departure angle, it would have to be mounted at a steeper angle to get the most out of the streched wheelbase. For looks tho, i think it is BAD A$$

Fair enough

I love the idea of keeping it low and being longer as it should be very stable, low COG, etc. Its a great build, as all you guys' stuff is. And is for a great purpose as well
