I actually had this same issue on my '36. I tried to lower the tailgate with the spare on it and could get pretty close to all the way down, but not flat. It got worse when I installed the bumper, and even worse when I tried bumper guards. I like the look of the bumper guards and was hoping that they were far enough apart that they wouldn't cause interference with the spare, but that wasn't the case. Ultimately there really isn't any room for storage when you have all three rows of seats in the car, so I guess I didn't really care how far it goes down.
