Options for Mounting Spare Tire Set—not in vault or roof racks?

[arodriguezfeo]

What I’m looking for before buying a spare is an option to mount the spare on a swing away product that utilizes the 2” receiver. There are a number of products that could work. For example, this one: https://www.jegs.com/i/Wilco-Offroad/393/UHG33187-H/10002/-1

Key considerations are weight of tire and wheel, assuming about 75 lbs so the carrier must be 75 lbs or less to accommodate 150 lbs limit.

While the Unplugged Performance option of modular bumper replacement and swing away arm is attractive, it is too expensive for me so I’m trying to see if other options exist.

Thank you.

Untested that I'm aware of, but here are a few:

The truck can easily run a tire carrier, but you do need to make sure not to exceed load/distance ratios from the owner's manual:

Thanks. These look like some other great options. Hard to see of even if the offset options would work for CT’s, and none of the sites directly refer to our trucks.

i’ve written to the companies to see what they say. I can’t believe I’m the only one who thinks this is a better idea than putting tire in bed or on roof rack.

I like the rigid supply carrier and would buy one but the truck will not fit in the garage. At 80lbs and 35 inches she is not the easiest thing to wrestle up on the rack, but I still can park inside.

Looks good, but I need to use the open bed for bikes and other taller items that would not work with crossbars at pisitions 3 &4 over the bed. My crossbars are over positions 1 & 2 over the roof.

This is a Hitchgate Solo XL(UHG32206 or UHG32206-H). Unfortunately, it does cover the rear camera.

So is there now a definitive solution for this that doesn’t cover the rear camera?
Also. Anyone know a good method to mount a sore to the oem crossbars?
