Hello to all..
Just acquired a 09 Hybrid Tahoe. I have seen the post about removal of the second resonator and that's something I'll definitely do. But I also want to add a spare tire at the same time. Anyone done that and how? $$?
Hi there ...
Yes I did that on my 09 HyHoe last year.
You have to do the res delete, then:
1. Buy the 11+ spare tire kit part no. 22754574
2. Buy a spare 265/70R17 tire for it and have them installed.
3. Buy either an escalade/denali or base tahoe/yukon bumper, with step pad and swap your bumper for it.
The reason you buy the 11+ spare kit is because you are deleting the resonator so you don't need the more expensive earlier kit that comes with a resonator relocate package.
The reason you need to change bumpers is because your bumper doesn't have the hoist access point that you need to lower the spare tire.
If you go the esky/denali bumper route, it will look like this:
You can see the spare.

Oh and to answer your $$ question ...
If you add up:
New exhaust tips and res delete install labor
Spare tire kit, spare tire, and install labor
New bumper, pad, hitch cover, paint and install labor
You'll be in for roughly $1500
