Vehicle 1993 Dodge Ram D350

Jay H. gave this 1993 Dodge Ram D350 a cleaner, more functional setup by installing the HornBlasters Spare Tire Delete® Kit in the factory spare tire location underneath the rear of the truck. The kit is a straightforward upgrade that frees the OEM spare mounting area, making room for custom exhaust, air-suspension components, onboard air, or other modifications that need the extra space.

It also helps clean up the underbody while providing a secure way to remove the factory spare tire assembly. The Spare Tire Delete® Kit configurator pairs HornBlasters’ 14-gauge powdercoated spare-delete bracket with a complete Conductor’s Special package: the Shocker XL train horn (one four-bell horn), a 2-gallon six-port tank, and either the 3Q compressor on Medium-Duty HK-S4-232-STDK or the constant-duty 1NM compressor on Heavy-Duty HK-S4-244K-STDK. Both tiers run at 150 PSI with 110 PSI restart and roughly 3–5 seconds of honk time—so the same spare-well platform can host a full train horn system when you are ready.

Whether the goal is performance, customization, or extra clearance, Jay’s D350 is a strong example of how the Spare Tire Delete Kit can make future upgrades easier. HornBlasters notes the kit ships as individual components (assembled photos are for illustration) and is designed for most full-size pickups. On a 1993 first-gen Ram, confirm spare-hanger geometry, fuel tank, and exhaust routing against the current instructions before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Spare Tire Delete® Kit is a complete HornBlasters package, not just a bare bracket: the 14-gauge spare-delete bracket, Shocker XL train horn, 2-gallon six-port tank, compressor (3Q or 1NM depending on tier), valve, gauge, air line, wiring, fittings, and hardware. Jay H.’s 1993 D350 uses that spare-well recipe to free the OEM spare area and leave a secure, organized platform for onboard air and other underbody work.

Jay’s install shows the factory rear spare location working as a cleaner, more useful underbody on a first-gen D350. HornBlasters designs the bracket for most full-size pickups, but it is not 100% plug-and-play on every vehicle—older spare hangers, dual tanks, and custom exhaust can change clearance. Measure the OEM spare assembly against the listed bracket size (~19″ × 19″ × 7.5″, ~6 lb; assembled package about 21″ × 23″ and ~40 lb) and check fuel tank, driveshaft, and exhaust before you hang it. Contact HornBlasters if you are unsure.

Jay’s copy calls out exactly that: removing the OEM spare frees room for custom exhaust, air-suspension components, onboard air, or other mods. The product page kits still include the Shocker XL and 2-gallon air system on the bracket. If you only need the empty space, plan the layout so the tank and horn do not fight the exhaust or bags—or talk to HornBlasters about a bracket-only path before you order.

Jay’s writeup does not name a SKU. On the product page, Medium-Duty (Quiet & Light Pneumatic Use) is HK-S4-232-STDK with the 3Q compressor. Heavy-Duty (Quick & Moderate Pneumatic Use) is HK-S4-244K-STDK with the constant-duty 1NM compressor. Both include the Shocker XL, a 2-gallon tank, and the spare tire delete bracket at 150 PSI with about 3–5 seconds of honk. Pick Heavy-Duty if you also want faster recovery for tires or light tools.

No. HornBlasters notes that assembled photos are for illustration only. The Spare Tire Delete® Kit ships as individual components; you assemble the bracket, tank, compressor, and Shocker XL per the included instructions. Plan on roughly 3–4 hours with the spare-delete bracket versus 6–8 hours for a comparable frame-rail layout without it.
