Have you tried fitting it in the spare tire holder under the vehicle? It just might squeeze in there.

Yea i seen those but don't like them lol. I'm leaning more toward the ones that go on the roof, but damn that'll be rough getting down if I ever did need it lol. And it might squeeze under neath the Tahoe, but I'm guessing with a 35 it would hang down pretty far and I don't like the look of it.
There are some crafty but costly rear mount spare tire carriers.

I think some guys have stuffed them under in the original location. Ive personally never tried it but I think guys on GMFS have done it.

35" won't fit hits the track bar. I went with a 33" fits fine. If I need it figure I'll air down the 35" to line up diff and get home etc. I can take pics if that would help. Not sure if u have a compressor, if so get an ARB tire repair kit. Will fix most issues.

Roof in a basket would definitely look the best, but damn that would be a serious chore to lug over 100 pounds up there, and down again if/when you get a flat.

IDK, maybe you're in better shape than I am. LOL!

I've always skipped the spare on trucks/SUVs I've lifted and never had a problem. Course I'm a poser mall-crawler though, never really off-road my rigs. So no need to have a spare while I'm cruising for a parking spot at Target. Ha!

If
You have a portable
Compressor, you might be able
To air down a 35 and stuff it up in the factory spot.
That's what I did with an older superduty.
I never needed it but if I did, hook it up to the compressor while your doing all the work.
When you're done, itd be done.
